It’s almost April!

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, and we are hoping you will join us in supporting San Francisco’s children. If we all do our part, we can keep all of San Francisco’s children safe.

With the efforts of partners like you, San Francisco has made great strides in supporting children + families, preventing child maltreatment, and responding to child abuse. Despite the amazing work and collaboration of the city’s community agencies, schools, and city departments, far too many of the city’s children still experience child abuse.

During April, please help us get out the word about Child Abuse Prevention Month -- and what we each can do to end it in our community.

Five easy steps:

1. Take a stand, April 5th @ 11am.
   Join us on the steps of City Hall (Polk Street Steps) to show your support for SF’s kids.
