When a child experiences or witnesses any form of emotional or physical abuse, their trust can become shattered.

5 do's and don'ts to help foster children in school
For children in foster care to succeed in school, foster parents must lead the charge and blaze a path as an advocate, fighting for a child's every chance. In truth, it is likely that foster students will have no other person fighting for them, since a caseworker's workload is overwhelming, and teachers may be too busy to reach out with information or may not have the necessary information about a child's needs. Therefore, it is up to foster parents to be proactive in a child's life at school. https://expertbeacon.com/foster-parents-must-be-involved-school-help-kids-succeed/#.VRyq9DvF-Dj |

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month
National Child Abuse Prevention Month is a time to acknowledge the importance of families and communities working together to prevent child abuse and neglect, and to promote the social and emotional well-being of children and families. During the month of April and throughout the year, communities are encouraged to share child abuse and neglect prevention awareness strategies and activities and promote prevention across the country. In recognition of the 40th anniversary of the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act, we have designed a historical timeline of significant moments in child abuse prevention in the United States
