April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month and the Domestic Violence & Child Advocacy Center wants to help Break the Cycle.
Local experts at the Domestic Violence & Child Advocacy Center (DVCAC) focuses on preventing abuse through educational sessions aimed at school-aged children. The center offers hope and healing to survivors of child abuse through group and individual therapy.
Breaking this cycle of abuse is critical to protecting future generations.
Ways to Help:
-Donate a meal for the emergency women and children’s shelter site.
-Donate art supplies for the art therapy program.
-Donate baby diapers and wipes for the shelter.
-Donate old cellphones: Working or not, your phone and battery can be recycled to raise funds that support victims of domestic violence and child abuse or be given to victims of domestic violence to call 911 in case of emergency.
To celebrate Child Abuse Prevention Month, DVCAC is hosting its inaugural “Breakfast of Champions” being held April 30 at Quicken Loans Arena. This high-energy event will feature a “Wheaties Box” photo booth, a raffle for a trip to Mexico and a prize wheel. Individuals and organizations are invited to support the event, which will benefit the agency’s programs that offer protection, hope and healing to children who have been abused or exposed to violence.
