Every child deserves a happy, healthy and loving environment to grow up in. Together we can protect children from abuse and neglect and lead each child into a brighter future. Although April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, Positive Promotions believes it should be practiced throughout the year and that is why we offer educational and awareness products that set the tone for dialogues in your school and community all year round. Our tools explain what child abuse is, and how you can prevent child abuse and ultimately eliminate it.
We invite you to use the ideas in this guide we put together in combination with our material that is well-designed and inexpensive to raise awareness about child abuse, because protecting children is everyone’s responsibility.
• Bring attention to Child Abuse Prevention with shirts bearing an important message. See how many people in your school or organization you can get to wear these shirts and as an incentive ask local companies to get involved by extending discounts to those people wearing shirts.
• Include local houses of worship in your child abuse awareness efforts by setting up informative “Kids’ Corner” booths in their atriums and entryways. Display information for youngsters as well as parents to take with them. These might include “Good Touch Bad Touch” Activity Book and “Warning Signs of Child Abuse” Pocket Pals.
• Organize a fundraiser at your school to raise money for a local organization that is committed to the protection of children. Decorate with our Child Abuse Prevention Awareness Pack. Allow Employees who donate to the cause to wear jeans at work one day and give all those who make a donation above the minimum rate a “Blue Awareness Bracelet With Prevention Tip Card” this will help raise awareness for Child Abuse Prevention and the money raised will make a real difference in the lives of children who need it most.
• Host an awareness event at your local library. Invite law enforcement agents to speak to students about recognizing, preventing, and reporting abuse. After youngsters have been told how to report abuse, have them act out skits where they must make the right decisions about what to do in a situation where abuse is occurring. Provide information for parents and kids to take home. They may include Glancers from our Smart Parenting Glancer Station and for youngsters our “It’s Ok To Tell!” Educational Activity Books.
