Blue Ribbon Awareness Campaign

HomeProgramsBlue Ribbon Awareness Campaign

Each year in April, the President of the United States issues a proclamation to announce National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

This month and throughout the year, It’s Our Little Secret encourages individuals and our communities to play a role in making our world a better place for all children and families.

By ensuring parents have the knowledge, skills, and resources to care for their children, we can promote children’s social and emotional well-being and help prevent child abuse and neglect within families and communities. Please join us and our Blue Ribbon Campaign to celebrate our children and learn ways to keep them safe and our families strong!

The Blue Ribbon is the international sign of child abuse prevention. Learn about ways you can get involved and help put an end to child abuse.

This April, join us in helping keep kids safe!
