April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, a time when CAPA (Child Abuse Prevention Association) stresses the awareness of abuse and help educate communities about the importance of supporting children and families. The symbol for this month is the pinwheel. Shining in the sun, the pinwheel is reflective of the bright future all children deserve and our belief that getting it right early is less costly than trying to fix it later. Be on the lookout for our pinwheel gardens. They represent our effort to focus on community activities that support families and public policies that prioritize prevention right from the start to make sure child abuse and neglect never occur.
