There are so many opportunities to step up to protect children wherever you are!
*Compassionately helping local families reduce stress reduces risk for kids - especially in situations involving mental health, substance abuse and domestic violence and for those living in poverty.
*Volunteer with or join your county Child Abuse Prevention Council to learn what really prevents child abuse, to help spread the word that child abuse prevention is possible, to donate your skills, time or resources to assist in child protection efforts, and to learn how/where to advocate for change at all levels that will protect children and make families stronger!!! Contact arinj@iastate.edu or call 515-991-0299 to connect to your local group.💙
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘what are you doing for others?’” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Today, we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his vision for justice, dignity, and collective care. Building a future where children and families can thrive starts with compassion, and shared responsibility.
