At least three children die every day in our country due to abuse and neglect.
April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, and there is much you can do to make a difference. Visit ChildHelp to find out more.
ChildHelp is especially active in providing help for healing to abuse survivors. For another type of focus, find out what's happening at Prevent Child Abuse. PCA is working to change the public perception of child abuse. (People are mostly aware of child abuse through sensational publicity and extreme examples, but the reality is much more complex . . . )
For a more political strategy, and a broader context, try the Family Violence Prevention Fund. Their site provides serious news, and information about innovative programs like Founding Fathers.
Finally--one easy thing you can do today: Adorn your enevelopes with Stop Family Violence stamps. They cost 47 cents instead of 39, but the difference goes to programs addressing domestic violence. Find them at most post offices, or order them online--just click here!
