Child Abuse Prevention Month

Our Wood County Partners in Prevention team is busily conducting Child Abuse Prevention Month activities, led by program coordinator, Lisa Weaver. We had an article in the paper this weekend about the Month, and a number of activities going on, including Pin Wheel gardens, public awareness efforts, participation in a community Easter Egg Hunt among many. Lisa is doing a great job of conveying the message about prevention, by supporting families, creating protective factors around children, and de-emphasizing the negative, discouraging focus that traditional may have been present in Child Abuse Prevention efforts.
