First off we can’t very well ask you to make an effort to become involved in child abuse advocacy if we the creators are not keeping involved, so here is what we are hoping to do in the future to stay involved:
Now how can you become involved?
Report any suspected child abuse to your local Department of Human Services or law enforcement. In order to put an end to child abuse, people must stand up and speak for those who are unable to advocate for themselves.
Donate to your local child advocacy center. This could be a donation of toys and other supplies, or a monetary donation. With these economic times, many people are struggling. Donating your time at fundraisers that promote child abuse awareness is also a valuable donation and a way to support the cause.
Get educated. By understanding child abuse and knowing the signs of abuse, you can help put an end to at least one child's suffering and hopefully stop the cycle of abuse before the abuser and/or the child go on to abuse others. Visit the links under additional information.
Send and email to your local Senator or Congressman/Congresswomen, and let them know how you feel about child abuse.
- Updating and adding information to the website
- Looking towards taking classes from CAST on child advocacy abuse awareness in the future for our careers as counselors
