April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month
LACASA Center’s Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) Council joins child abuse and neglect organizations across Michigan and around the country each April to commemorate National Child Abuse Prevention Month.
Prevent Child Abuse America (PCAA) chose the blue pinwheel, an uplifting reminder of the happy and safe childhood that every child deserves, as the national symbol for child abuse and neglect prevention.
CAP’s Plant a Pinwheel Campaign includes community events, social media outreach, and fundraising efforts that support community-wide child abuse prevention programs.
Most years the community gathers at the Howell Carnegie District Library for the Plant a Pinwheel Celebration to kick-off the campaign. This celebration event includes guest speakers, musical performances by a children’s choir, and the presentation of CAP’s annual Champions for Children awards.
