Support Child Abuse Prevention 2025

Powered by Hope, Strengthened by Prevention

April is National Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) Month, a time when child wellness and child welfare organizations across the U.S. elevate the importance of creating systems and programs that put children and families first. The theme of this year’s awareness and impact campaign is “Powered by Hope, Strengthened by Prevention.” Will you join us in strengthening families through prevention?

Throughout CAP Month, Prevent Child Abuse America and KCSL are spreading the message that together, we are powered by hope and strengthened by prevention. We all have a responsibility to ensure children have positive experiences, and help families have the resources they need, when they need them.

How to Get Involved

Participate in Wear Blue Day

Wear Blue Day will be on Friday, April 4, 2025. Partner organizations, local businesses, community members and supporters can all wear blue to kick off Child Abuse Prevention Month.
