2011 Monthly Themes
The prevention of child abuse requires the involvement of the entire community. In an effort to involve our community, the Children’s Advocacy Committee was formed to help guide our outreach and education efforts. This committee assisted in development of the 2011/12 calendar of themes to promote child safety and well being and serves as a guide for Child Abuse Prevention Council activities.
