April is Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) Month. Open communication is a protective factor for children and a deterrant to perpetrators. Review safety practices with your children in ongoing, age-appropriate conversations. Teach children not to keep secrets and to tell you about anything that makes them uncomfortable. -Child Advocacy Center of Sedgwick County. #childabuseawareness #forensicnurse #nursepractitioner

Raising awareness about child abuse is crucial in safeguarding the well-being of our most vulnerable members of society. By shedding light on the various forms of abuse, including physical, emotional, and sexual, we empower individuals and communities to recognize the signs and take action. Heightened awareness not only aids in prevention but also encourages early intervention, ensuring that children receive the support and protection they desperately need. Through education, advocacy, and open dialogue, we can foster a culture of accountability and support for survivors, ultimately striving towards a future where every child can grow up in a safe and nurturing environment. #childabuseawarenessmonth #advocacy
