Inspiration/Resources

Every April, Child Abuse Prevention Month is an opportunity to learn about the signs of child abuse and how to prevent it.

Recently, Eric Valdes, head teacher at Gold Coast Christian School shared a poem he wrote about a student who seems shy, but in reality, is a victim of abuse. The purpose of this poem is to remind us that sometimes we may think that everything is fine at home, when in reality it is not.

Learn more about how to prevent child abuse, how to help when you think something might be wrong, and how you can help raise awareness and help protect children in your community.
