free from physical, sexual, emotional and verbal abuse, neglect and exploitation;

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 Board of Weld County
Commissioners that April 2023 be known as Child Abuse Prevention Month. We
urge all citizens to dedicate themselves to protecting children and connecting with
families within their communities to ensure they are strong and thriving.
