Lifetime Families, Life Long Connections
"Too many children in our country do not succeed because crises leave them without a family to whom they can turn for the kind of support that most children take for granted."

CHILD ABUSE AWARENESS CREATES CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION
Tenth Annual Children’s Memorial Flag Day April 25
Prevention is the best hope for reducing child abuse and neglect and improving the lives of children and families. Strengthening families and preventing child abuse requires a shared commitment of individuals and organizations in every community. West Virginia’s 55 counties are uniting in April to continue to make our citizens aware of the plight of some children and remembering those who have been lost before they could blossom. Watch for the Children’s Memorial Flag to be flying in your community and commit yourself to do what you can do to help the families in your communities deal with the stress of raising children in the 21 st Century.
Throughout the month of April, citizens will be learning ways to strengthen families to prevent the loss of our children due to preventable means. Many communities will be having ceremonies, vigils, exhibits, and flag raisings. To learn where the activities are in your county, contact your Department of Health and Human Resources Community Service Manager. See Ten Things You can do for Child Abuse Prevention Month.
