Update From The Director’s Desk

Traditionally, April is a time that we unite with our fellow advocates across the state to elevate the importance of child abuse prevention. During this extraordinary time, each Michigan county has redesigned Child Abuse Prevention Month 202 while maintaining our laser focus on the well-being of our children and support for our families! To this end, take a moment to watch our for our children. At a time when we are sheltering in place, many families are under tremendous stress with changes in employment, home schooling and not socializing with our friends and family, which is critical to our health. If you have a child, neighbor, or friend who is struggling and needs help, take a moment to check in with them. A list of key resources is provided for you on the next page, including MI-211, if your or someone you love needs additional assistance during these everchanging times. You may also find our new Crisis Parent & Caregiver Guide helpful for yourself or to share with others. – Click the link to review full letter.
