CADIZ The Harrison County Board of Commissioners signed a proclamation Wednesday presented by Tri-County Help Center recognizing April as Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month.
As a part of Tri-County Help Center’s annual campaign to spread awareness, staff have attended commission meetings throughout the week in Belmont, Monroe and Harrison counties, where the agency provides services.
On Wednesday, Chelsea Scott, administrative compliance coordinator for Tri-County Help Center, said each year they ask officials in each county to accept and declare the proclamation identifying April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
Scott read the proclamation, which calls on members of the community to aid in the efforts to expand sexual assault prevention efforts and help to ensure the next generation adopts attitudes that support and promote healthy relationships.
