Standing Together for Our Children

 

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and we want today’s photo to convey a powerful message — when a community comes together, we can make a real difference in the lives of children.

The Prince Edward County Department of Social Services, along with the Prince Edward County Board of Supervisors, Prince Edward County Sheriff’s Department, Farmville Police Department, Prince Edward Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office, and the Virginia Department of Health recently gathered to raise awareness for child abuse prevention and to reaffirm a shared commitment to protecting our most vulnerable residents.

Prevention starts with all of us — supporting families, strengthening communities, and ensuring caregivers have the resources they need. The Prince Edward County Department of Social Services is proud to stand with our community partners in bringing attention to this important cause. Together, we can help create brighter futures for children.

If you suspect child abuse or neglect, please don’t hesitate to act. �� Call the Virginia Child Abuse & Neglect Hotline at 1-800-552-7096

Every child deserves a safe, supportive environment — and every one of us plays a role in making that possible.
