April is Child Abuse Prevention Month
During Child Abuse Prevention Month, we focus on how everyone can help prevent child abuse and neglect. In 2008, Prevent Child Abuse America and its state chapters chose the pinwheel as the national symbol of child abuse prevention.
The pinwheel represents the happy and safe childhood that every child deserves.
We use the pinwheel to raise awareness and inspire action, reminding us that we all share the responsibility to help children grow up in safe and loving homes.
When people see the pinwheel and ask about it, it gives us a chance to share how we can support families and protect children together.
Wear Blue Day
April 4, 2025
Wear Blue Day is a special day when people wear blue to show they care about keeping kids safe. It helps spread awareness about child abuse prevention and reminds everyone that children deserve love and protection. When you wear blue, you help start important conversations and show support for safe, happy childhoods.
Join us! Wear blue, take a photo, and share it on social media to inspire others. Encourage your friends, family, and workplace to participate to bring awareness to this important cause!
Prevent Child Abuse of St. Joseph County will be out at First Fridays in Downtown South Bend to spread awareness on April 4, 2025. Come by and say hi, and don't forget to wear YOUR blue!
