April is Child Abuse Prevention Month.
Preventing child abuse involves creating safe, nurturing environments, providing resources for families, and recognizing the signs of abuse to intervene early.
Blue pinwheels are a symbol of bright, happy childhoods and hope for a world where children grow up safe, healthy, and supported.
