Dee Norton Child Advocacy Center is raising awareness for National Child Abuse Prevention Month in April.
Several initiatives and events will be hosted throughout the month, including movie nights at Freshfields Village, community conversations across the region and national Wear Blue Day. The nonprofit also encourages all community members to complete an online pledge and join in its efforts to prevent child abuse.
Charleston, Mount Pleasant and North Charleston have also been designated as Pinwheel Cities, the pinwheel serving as the national symbol of child abuse prevention. The cities signed on with the Children’s Trust of SC in support of its efforts to raise awareness for child abuse prevention across the state.
