ST. JOSEPH, Mich. — According to the Children’s Advocacy Center of Southwest Michigan (CAC) April is Child Abuse Prevention Awareness Month. The organization is asking people to show their support for abused children in a few ways.

One in ten children experience sexual abuse before they turn 18 and 60% of child sexual abuse never tell anyone reports the Children’s Advocacy Center of Southwest Michigan.

Those interested in showing their support can wear blue on April 1st, register for the “Hike-4-Healing” fundraiser or register for a Virtual CAC Tour.
