April is recognized as Family Strength and Support Month, the month-long campaign formally recognized as Child Abuse Prevention Month highlighting the crucial importance of protecting children and providing support to families. Throughout this month, communities unite to raise awareness, promote prevention strategies, and advocate for the safety and well-being of all children.
In a bid to enhance awareness, Chautauqua County is leading the annual Pinwheel for Prevention campaign by “planting” pinwheel gardens across the county. Symbolizing hope, health, and happiness of childhood, the pinwheel serves as a poignant emblem of child abuse prevention.
