Child Abuse Prevention Awareness Materials
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, a special time when those of us who care about children can help raise awareness about child abuse and neglect and what we can all do to keep our children safe. Prevent Child Abuse Wisconsin is a resource that can support awareness activities in your community, during April and throughout the year. The Blue Ribbons for Kids awareness campaign was created through a private-public partnership between Prevent Child Abuse Wisconsin, the Child Abuse Prevention Fund of Children's Hospital and Health System, and the Wisconsin Children's Trust Fund. Through this partnership we are pleased to make available materials that you can use to help keep kids safe and families strong. Visit www.blueribbonsonline.org for everything you need to carry out a successful awareness campaign, from blue ribbon pins and stickers to bookmarks and posters.
