How Can You Help?

How Can You Help Prevent Child Abuse? 
You can:

• Raise awareness of Child Abuse in your community, particularly by wearing a blue ribbon in April.
• Support parents in your community.
• Know the difference between abuse and discipline when raising a child. Discipline helps the children to achieve for themselves and feel proud when they do what is right.
• Explain rules to your child and stick to them.
• Look for signs of abuse.
• If a child should talk to you about being abused themselves, listen carefully and tell the child that you are going to report the abuse so that it can be stopped.
• Most importantly, be a nurturing parent!
