April is Child Abuse Prevention Month.
Awareness matters. Listening matters. And Believing Children matters.
Help Spread Awareness!

💙 THE TRUTH ABOUT DISCLOSURE 💙

Most people think they would know if a child was being abused… but the reality is very different.

👉 Only 1 in 10 children ever tell, which tells us 90% of children will not ever tell.
👉 Many children delay disclosure for months or even years
👉 And despite common belief, false reports are rare

‼️Children are far more likely to NOT DISCLOSE than to lie! When a child is brave enough to tell, we have a responsibility to believe them.‼️

This is is why awareness matters.
This is why listening matters.
This is why believing children matters.

💬 Take a moment and ask yourself…
Would you recognize the signs if a child trusted you enough to tell?

📣 Help us spread awareness:

Some of the top procedures JCMH patients are using MD Save for this month - CT Scans, Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs), General XRays, and MRIs.
MD Save is a great option to think about getting cash-discount prices when you have high out-of-pocket health expenses.
For those with no insurance and high-deductibles particularly -
if this fits your situation, ask your nurse or provider about easy ways to package your costs!
