APRIL IS CHILD ABUSE AWARENESS MONTH
"Child abuse prevention is good for the Church as well as the Children."
From the 1991 Child Abuse Prevention Handbook
"Children depend upon adults... Children learn from adults... Children teach adults... Children are a gift from God... Children and adults need each other".
From the 1986 Conditions of Childhood statement
During April and throughout the year, the Caring Ministries of the Church of the Brethren encourages all individuals and congregations to play a role in making your community a better place for families. By ensuring that parents and caregivers have the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to care for their children, we can help prevent child abuse and neglect by strengthening families and communities.
A variety of resources are available at www.brethren.org/childprotection and click on resources. You may also call the Caring Ministries office at (800) 323-8039 for paper versions of the resources.
