National Child Abuse Prevention Month
April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month to raise awareness of child abuse and neglect. Scale is evaluating the work of two Ohio regional prevention councils as they seek to give supports to parents and caregivers to prevent abuse and neglect. Understanding the importance of this work, Scale wants to raise awareness especially during the nationwide pandemic of COVID-19. The health crisis is causing many families to be isolated at home together, parents to become formal educators of their children, and for caregivers to experience blows to financial and physical wellness. In these circumstances, parenting skills and resources are being challenged.
In 2017, Ohio had 182,576 total referrals for child abuse and neglect. Of those, 83,750 reports were referred for investigation. There was a total of 73 deaths from child abuse and neglect in Ohio in 2017. With the rising anxiety and stress that families are under due to the health and economic impact of COVID-19, Scale wanted to highlight resources to help parents and caregivers in this unprecedented time. Below we have attached helpful links to resources that provide ways to deal with stress and anxiety by providing coping strategies for parents and family activities to do. There is also a link to an article from the Children’s Bureau about National Child Abuse Prevention Month.
