Central Ohio Community Unites to Combat Child Abuse During National Child Abuse Prevention Month
As April marks National Child Abuse Prevention Month, Central Ohio organizations are coming together to protect children and promote family well-being. Since 1983, this month has been dedicated to raising awareness about child abuse and neglect.
​
Uniting to Make Franklin County Families Stronger for Longer, The Center for Healthy Families (The Center), in partnership with Franklin County Children Services (FCCS), is spearheading initiatives to combat child abuse and educate the community on its lasting impact.
​
Orange Barrel Media proudly joins this effort as the official media sponsor, amplifying key messages and event visibility throughout the month.
Healthy Families Programs
Through our direct services model, Healthy Families provides both community- and school-based services. We offer support in the following areas: graduating high school and accessing post-secondary education; giving birth to a healthy baby; establishing healthy, supportive relationships; preventing and delaying additional pregnancies; finding safe, secure, and stable housing, and preparing for the workforce.
Advocacy,
Public Policy, and Influence
“Advocacy, Public Policy, and Influence (API) helps dismantle the systemic (and systematic) forces disproportionately impacting women and girls. By addressing the social, physical, and economic conditions—social determinants of health--
that impact the well-being of our primary constituents, The Center captures relevant data and evidence, and promotes capacity-building and action to close
these gaps and lessen the disparities.
