April is Child Abuse
Prevention (CAP) Month
It Takes a Village to Raise A Child
April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness and take action to protect children and strengthen families. This year's theme, "It Takes a Village," highlights the collective responsibility of communities in supporting children's well-being. At Children's Network, we believe that by coming together, we can create a nurturing environment where every child can thrive. All month long, we’ll be doing our part to spread awareness, share resources, and provide education to help prevent child abuse and build stronger communities.
CAP Month 2025 Webinar Series: It Takes a Village
Join us every Wednesday in April for the 2025 CAP Month Webinar Series: It Takes a Village.
