Child Abuse Prevention Month
Help us spread awareness and support in the month of April.
Did You Know?
Nearly 500 children suffer abuse or neglect every month in San Antonio.
With stay-at-home policies and self-quarantine causing stress and fear throughout the country and our community, more children are now at risk for child abuse and neglect. With schools closed, mandatory reporters such as teachers are not seeing children every day, and children may be isolated with their abusers.
All court cases have also been extended, and as a result, children may be in foster care longer, which can lead to negative long term outcomes. Following the health crisis, we anticipate increased removals due to child abuse and neglect, which will call for more Advocates to ensure these children are not going through the court system alone, especially after this traumatic time.
Stop the Cycle & Don't Let Them Walk Alone.
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and we need your help. We need you to help spread awareness of the heightened risk for children as COVID-19 continues to keep children isolated inside homes. We need you to help stop the cycle of child abuse and ensure children don't walk their path alone. It costs $125 a month to serve a foster child. Help us serve as many children as possible this month.
