AUGUSTA — Maine Children’s Trust, the state chapter for Prevent Child Abuse America, recognizes the importance of community-based support for all children and families, as Governor Mills proclaims April as Child Abuse Prevention Month. The theme of this year’s awareness and impact campaign is “Growing a Better Tomorrow for All Children, Together.”
“We can build healthier, safer, and thriving communities if we take the same approach to raising families that we do to tending a community garden on a shared piece of land,” said Pam LaHaye, Executive Director. “Too often, our society thinks of raising healthy children as a parent or caregiver’s responsibility alone. In reality, we all benefit when people work together to collectively care for and about all children, who subsequently grow up to become successful, contributing adults.”
