United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County

April may be ending, but the work of preventing child abuse continues. Earlier this month, TexProtects and United Way for Greater Austin joined community members, partners and policymakers on the steps of the Texas State Capitol to reaffirm a shared commitment to protecting children before harm occurs. Texas Department of Family and Protective Services Commissioner Audrey O'Neill welcomed attendees and shared a proclamation from Governor Greg Abbott recognizing April as Child Abuse Prevention Month. TexProtects CEO Adrianna Cuellar Rojas stressed that keeping children safe requires sustained advocacy, smart policy and investment in prevention. The event ended with pinwheel planting, a national symbol of hope and a promise that every child deserves a safe, stable and nurturing environment. As Child Abuse Prevention Month comes to a close, let’s keep prevention visible. Share this post, learn about programs that strengthen families and advocate for policies that put children first, this month and all year long. #ChildAbusePreventionMonth #PreventionWorks #StrongFamilies #ProtectTexasKids #UnitedistheWay
