Get involved today!
|
| Step 1 - Be a voice for children |
Children need adults to speak up for them.
• If you suspect a child is being abused or neglected call the RI Child Abuse Hotline at
1-800-RICHILD (1-800-742-4453)
• Write to your local legislator to express your concern for families and children.
Visit the Advocacy Action Center for more information.

| Step 2 - Promote a Strong Community |
It takes a strong community to provide a safe environment for children.
Become involved in your community and its programs for children and families. Providing support to parents in your community who may be struggling is a key ingredient to preventing child abuse and neglect.

| Step 3 - Support Child Abuse Prevention Programs |
Volunteer your time or provide financial support to child abuse prevention and family support programs in your state.
