All children deserve happy childhoods and bright futures. Since 1983, April has been designated as Child Abuse Prevention Month. Each April, communities are encouraged to increase awareness about child and family well-being and work together to implement effective strategies that support families and prevent child abuse and neglect. The color for child abuse awareness is blue and the symbol for child abuse prevention is the blue and silver pinwheel used across the nation to promote awareness activities throughout the month. Pinwheels for Prevention® provides a unique opportunity for individuals and organizations to take action.
