Strengthening Families and Inspiring Action Through Education, Awareness and Advocacy
Growing a Better Tomorrow for All Children, Together. Every day, we help positive childhood experiences take root.
While April is Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) Month, child abuse happens every day and so must prevention efforts. Prevent Child Abuse (PCA) Georgia provides sample communications pieces and activities to be used during CAP Month and year-round to help promote awareness, educate the general public, and also target specific audiences. Whether you use these tools in their entirety or simply for inspiration, this guide is a stepping stone for your CAP Month activities.
The online toolkit and Community Action Guide include:
- Key messages to educate and promote awareness
- Social media calendar, content, and images
- Pinwheels for Prevention materials and activities
- Sample communications (e.g., press release and letter to the editor)
