Every child deserves to be safe, supported and free from abuse. That is why we take the month of October to raise awareness for Child Abuse Prevention, especially the importance of reporting abuse.
Knowing the signs of abuse and neglect, speaking up when concerns arise to support children, youth and families can make a life-changing difference.
If you are concerned about a child’s safety or well-being, do not wait. The Child Intervention Line is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 1-800-638-0715.
