Proclamations and Press Releases

Each year in April, the President of the United States issues a proclamation to announce National Child Abuse Prevention Month and release the most current U.S. statistics on child abuse and neglect. Many State Governors also issue proclamations to encourage public awareness of child abuse and neglect, recommit State resources to the cause, and promote community involvement through State and local activities.
