April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month.
Child abuse prevention starts with open, ongoing conversations. When we talk early and often with our children about body safety, we empower them with the knowledge and confidence to set boundaries, recognize risks, and seek help when they need it most.
By supporting the Center, you’re expanding prevention and education efforts that help our community begin these critical conversations. Together, we’re making Austin a safer city for kids!
