Summary of Request:
Nationally, April is “Child Abuse Prevention Month”. While concerns surrounded abused, neglected and exploited children continue year round, Child Abuse Prevention Month provides the Board of Supervisors the opportunity to draw the attention of the citizens of Mendocino County to the problem of child abuse and the need for good prevention services and alternative caregivers, while encouraging all of us to support efforts to ensure that all children are loved, cared for, nurtured and safe.
Mendocino County Children’s Action Committee will present on the importance of child abuse prevention, community awareness and education. With April being proclaimed as “National Child Abuse Prevention Month, the Children’s Action Committee is focused on child and family safety with the support of the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors, county departments, community partners and families. Members from various county departments and local agencies will be present to provide information on the current state of child abuse, both countywide and nationally. Child abuse and neglect is every community leader’s concern and requires heightened community awareness in order to provide continuous safety for its children and youth.
