2022 Child Abuse Prevention Month

Wear blue on Friday, April 1, 2022 — Wear Blue Day! — to kick off Child Abuse Prevention Month.

You’ll show your support for the essential work needed in your community and across the country to ensure a better, safer future for all children. Take a selfie and post on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok with #WearBlueDay2022 on April 1st!

You can help plant the seeds of change this April and beyond.

Just like plants need good soil to grow, positive childhood experiences in nurturing environments provide fertile ground for physical and mental health, learning, and social skills to flourish. It is more important than ever to help positive childhood experiences take root in your community and across the country. Mobilize your community and take action—so all of us are #GrowingBetterTogether!

Since 2008, Pinwheels for Prevention® gardens have been raising awareness and financial support for policies and programs that enable children, families, and communities to thrive.

These gardens help show everyone the need for positive childhood experiences — and the groundswell of support for their role in preventing child abuse and neglect everywhere.

Join us in the virtual garden — or plant a pinwheel garden in your community by visiting our pinwheel webstore.

Help us support policies and programs that enable children, families, and communities to thrive — today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.

Prevent Child Abuse America is the nation’s oldest and largest organization committed to preventing child abuse and neglect before it happens.
