| April is....National Child Abuse Prevention Month |
Prevent Child Abuse Rhode Island, The RI Child Abuse Prevention Network, and The RI Family & Children's Trust Fund invite you to join us in observing National Child Abuse Prevention Month throughout April.
This national observance, which began in 1983, is just as important today. In Rhode Island alone, more than 2,500 children are found to be abused each year.
We realize that parenting isn't easy. Moms, Dads and other caregivers need support and encouragement to create safe, loving homes for the children in their care.
That's where we come in. Not just in April, but every day we provide support, education and resource referrals to parents and caregivers to help create strong families, strong communities and safe kids.
