April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. This month and throughout the year, The Delaware Tribe of Indians and the Delaware Tribe Family & Children Services department encourages all individuals and organizations to play a role in making Washington County a better place for children and families. To that end we have placed 250 blue pinwheels (a symbol of National Child Abuse Prevention Month) near the entrance to our Bartlesville campus as a visual reminder of our commitment to helping families. By ensuring that parents have the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to care for their children, we can help prevent child abuse and neglect by creating strong and thriving children, youth, and families in our communities. Focusing on ways to connect with families is the best thing our community can do to strengthen families and prevent child abuse and neglect.
