CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH
APRIL 2025
WHEREAS, every child deserves to grow up in a safe, loving and stable family, free
from physical, sexual, emotional and verbal abuse, neglect and exploitation; and
WHEREAS, child abuse is a national tragedy that crosses racial, ethnic and socio-
economic boundaries and endangers our most precious and vulnerable resource,
children, who will shape the future of Weld County as our workforce, leaders,
neighbors and community members; and
WHEREAS, strengthening, educating and supporting families is the most effective
way to prevent child abuse and neglect, ensuring the opportunity for children to
develop in healthy, trusting families, schools and neighborhoods.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED by the Weld County Board of Commissioners
that April 2025 be known as Child Abuse Prevention Month and urge all citizens to
dedicate themselves to protecting children and connecting with families within their
communities to ensure they are strong and thriving.
