The Children’s Advocacy Project would like to invite the community to help us bring awareness to Child Abuse Prevention Month. The event will begin at the Self Help Center (740 Luker Lane) on Tuesday, April 9 at 9:30 a.m. where they Mayor will make a proclamation for sexual assault awareness month. The community is then invited to walk to the Children’s Advocacy Project (350 N. Ash Street) to help us plant a pinwheel garden. In an effort to raise awareness about child abuse, the Children’s Advocacy Project will create a pinwheel garden in which there will be a pinwheel planted for every child victim of abuse and maltreatment we served in 2018 -- 312 children, 312 pinwheels! We are hoping this will serve as a visual reminder of the child abuse that continues to occur in our own community. Can’t attend? We encourage you to plant a pinwheel in front of your home or business as a way of honoring those who helped you or your children experience a childhood without abuse and neglect. Come down and help us plant a pinwheel and enjoy beverages and cookies! About the Children’s Advocacy Project Founded in 2002, the Children’s Advocacy Project works with a team of agencies to provide forensic and comprehensive services for alleged victims of child abuse in order to minimize trauma to children, to break the cycle of abuse, and to foster a more effective community response to child maltreatment throughout the state and surrounding areas.
