Support Child Abuse Prevention 2023

Building Together: Prevention in Partnership

April is National Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) Month, a time when child wellness and child welfare organizations across the U.S. elevate the importance of creating systems and programs that put children and families first. The theme of this year’s awareness and impact campaign is “Building Together: Prevention in Partnership.” Each day is an opportunity to build the foundation for our future. We all have a role to play as healthy partners in our communities, not just in April but all year.
