Did you know 1 in 7 children in the US have has experienced abuse or neglect? More than 600,000 children are abused in the U.S each year. An estimated 600,000 children (unique incidents) were victims of abuse and neglect in 2021, the most recent year for which there is national data. The actual number of children abused is likely underreported because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in 2021. April is recognized nationally as Child Abuse Prevention Month. It’s not only an opportunity to highlight the work being done to protect children from abuse and neglect, but its also an opportunity to reflect on our communities and recognize the importance of families and communities working together to prevent child abuse and neglect. #WeAreHelixHumanServices #StopChildAbuse
