Child Abuse Prevention Awareness Month

Since 1989, millions of people have joined in displaying and wearing blue bows during the month of April to raise awareness for the observance of National Child Abuse Prevention Awareness Month. The bows are a symbol of the bruises suffered by innocent children. Presbyterian Women at Fourth Presbyterian Church urges you to make a difference in the lives of our country’s most precious resource: children. Wear a blue bow, learn the signs of abuse and how to report it, join an advocacy group, or find out where to get help if you fear for the safety of a child. The blue ribbons in the trees along Michigan Avenue represent the indicated cases of child abuse or neglect in Cook County last year.
