With April being Child Abuse Prevention Month, State Representative Jack Jordan (R-Bremen) said in a release, “It's important for Hoosiers to understand the prevalence and know the resources available to help prevent abuse and neglect.”
This year's theme is "Powered by Hope, Strengthened by Prevention." The blue pinwheels around your community are an uplifting reminder of a joyful childhood and the bright futures all children deserve.
Representative Jordan provided information for reporting suspected child abuse or neglect along with programming available to assist families in need.
You can report suspected child abuse or neglect by calling Indiana's Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline at 1-800-800-5556.
The Indiana Department of Child Services (DCS) works to raise awareness and connect families to resources.
Healthy Families Indiana is a voluntary home visitation program to help with child development, access to health care, and parent education. DCS also collaborates with Community Partners for Child Safety across the state to strengthen family units through home-based services and connecting to resources.
