Child Welfare Information Gateway:

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, a time to focus on ways to support families and prevent child abuse now and throughout the year.

Visit the 2008 National Child Abuse Prevention Month website at www.childwelfare.gov/preventing/preventionmonth for resources and strategies on engaging communities and supporting families.

The website features Promoting Healthy Families in Your Community: 2008 Resource Packet, a guide for service providers on strengthening families by promoting key protective factors that prevent abuse, which is available at www.childwelfare.gov/preventing/res_packet_2008.

Thank you for all that you do to protect children and strengthen families.
