Pinwheels for Prevention 2017 - Go Blue Nevada!

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, a time to remember that we can each play a part in promoting the social and emotional well-being of children and families in our community. To help promote this reminder, Prevent Child Abuse America and local chapters nationwide use the Pinwheels for Prevention® campaign, which is an effort to change the way our nation thinks about prevention and how we can deliver on our commitment to America's children. As the symbol for child abuse and neglect prevention the pinwheel is an uplifting reminder of childhood and the bright futures all children deserve. We want to reinforce the notion that healthy child development serves as a foundation for both community and economic development. At Prevent Child Abuse Nevada, our mission is to ensure that Nevada's children thrive in safe, stable, and nurturing environments and relationships. Through providing education, advocacy, and awareness, PCANV aims to inspire communities to prevent all forms of child maltreatment. We believe in prevention by using supportive research showing how the prevention of adverse childhood experiences such as abuse and neglect can have an enormous impact the health of our society. PCA America and PCANV have a shared vision to see every child have a great childhood because our children are our future.
