BEAR QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER
Child Abuse Prevention Month
April is more than just the beginning of spring; it’s a critical time to shine a light on a sobering reality that affects far too many children: child abuse and neglect. As we observe Child Abuse Prevention Month, it’s imperative to raise awareness about this issue and renew our commitment to safeguarding the well-being of our youngest generation. At BEAR, we strive to provide hope and help to at-risk and CPS-involved children, as well as the dedicated caseworkers who tirelessly advocate for them.

During Child Abuse Prevention Month and beyond, we implore everyone to take action. Whether it’s volunteering your time, donating resources, or advocating for policies that prioritize child welfare and support families in crisis, every effort counts. As we stand together against child abuse and neglect, let us reaffirm our commitment to creating a brighter future for all children. + Learn More Here
