April Is Child Abuse Prevention Month

Join us in the fight against child abuse

Show your support for the smallest victims in our community:

  • wear a blue ribbon every day during the month of April (Click here for the story behind the blue ribbon)
  • Have your school or organization create child abuse prevention slogans with chalk art at your place of worship, school, or business (click here for chalk art slogan examples)Take photos and send to our office for possible press releases.
  • Have your school or organization create blue ribbons with pins to distribute throughout your community
  • Invite CASA For Kids to speak to your group about child abuse topics.  Small victims need BIG Friends.
  • Spread the word to your local churches about Blue Sunday on April 25, 2010.  On this day, we ask all churches to say a prayer for the smallest victims of abuse and neglect in our communities, as well as the volunteers and professionals who work with these children on a daily basis. (Go to www.bluesunday.org) for more details. )  The church may come up with their own special prayer . .below is an example from www.bluesunday.org.

    Blue Sunday Prayer Example:

    Lord, thank You for our children, For them we kneel and pray.

    Help us teach them of Your kindness. Of Your mercy and Your way.

    Help us show them of Your love, Your strength and safety, too.

    Help us show them who You are. Help us treat them like You do.

    Let’s pray, educate ourselves, and volunteer for the children of our nation until black and blue are just colors in their crayon box.
