It’s finally April! I’ve been looking forward to this day since New Year’s, but not just because it (hopefully) means warmer weather is here to stay. April marks an obvious time of new beginnings and fresh starts. It’s a month full of hope and potential which makes it the perfect choice for National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

The Face It® Movement, in partnership with many community agencies, would like to invite you to several events scheduled for this month. You can view all events online at http://faceitabuse.org/calendar/. Here are a couple of the top events for the month:
