Help raise awareness and funds during Child Abuse Prevention Month
Across Alberta, child advocacy centres are marking Child Abuse Prevention Month this October.
More than 30 centres exist across Canada, with eight in Alberta.
“Child Abuse Prevention Month is about creating awareness in our community. It is about having the courage to stand up for those who cannot speak for themselves – talking about an issue that has been silenced for far too long,” says Mark Jones, CEO, Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre (CACAC). “I have seen firsthand the power of the #GoBlueAB initiative provincially and I am so grateful to our community for having the courage to stand up, speak out, and to #GoBlueAB for our kids.”
#GoBlue is a campaign in its third year which aims to raise awareness and funds for the CACAC and other centres like it.
