April is Child Abuse Prevention Month.

Together, we can create communities where children are protected.

1:10 Walk Out

1 in 10 children will experience sexual abuse before their 18th birthday.

On April 10, 2026, at 1:10 PM, our community will take part in the 1:10 Walk Out to recognize this reality and bring greater awareness to child abuse prevention.

By stepping out together, we acknowledge the importance of prevention, education, and support for children and families in our community.
