WHEREAS, children are vital to our state's future success, prosperity and quality of life as well as
being our most vulnerable assets; and
WHEREAS, all children deserve to have the safe, stable, nurturing homes and communities they
need to foster their healthy growth and development; and
WHEREAS, child abuse and neglect is a community responsibility affecting both the current and
future quality of life of a community; and
WHEREAS, communities that provide parents with the social support, knowledge of parenting and
child development and concrete resources they need to cope with stress and nurture their children ensure
all children grow to their full potential; and
WHEREAS, effective child abuse prevention strategies succeed because of partnerships created
among citizens, human service agencies, schools, faith communities, health care providers, civic
organizations, law enforcement agencies, and the business community.
NOW THEREFORE, THE GRANT COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS do hereby
proclaim April 2019 as Child Abuse Prevention Month and call upon all Grant County citizens,
community agencies, faith groups, medical facilities, elected leaders and businesses to increase their
participation in our efforts to support families, thereby preventing child abuse and strengthening the
communities in which we live.
