Child abuse can be prevented!
Child Abuse Prevention Month is about recognizing the importance of families and communities coming together to build resiliency, take action, and stand with child advocates. April was first designated as National Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) Month in 1983.
When SCAN was born in 1988, we made it our mission to work with hyper-local, child-serving organizations throughout Northern Virginia to raise awareness and recommit ourselves to building stronger families for safer children.
