This April, we recognize National Child Abuse Prevention Month, an initiative rooted in communities working together to serve children and their families in meaningful, impactful ways that provide families what they need to thrive, even throughout adversity. Here in Lassen County two agencies, Lassen Family Services and the Lassen County Child Abuse Prevention Council, have special events planned to kick-off the month, with a focus on educating and raising awareness about the impact that child abuse has on children and society.
Wear Blue on Friday
The Lassen County Child Abuse Prevention Council is asking everyone to wear blue on Friday, April 1st, as a way to speak out for kids. Wear blue and post your picture on social media to show your support for child abuse prevention with the hashtag #WearBlueAgainstChildAbuseLassen
