April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. This month and throughout the year, IMPOWER<\/a> encourages all individuals and organizations to play a role in making Central Florida a better place for children. By ensuring parents have the knowledge, skills and resources they need to care for their children, we can help promote children’s social, emotional well-being and prevent child maltreatment within families and communities.\u00a0\u00a0 This month, IMPOWER once again joins Prevent Child Abuse Florida, in a statewide public awareness and education campaign called\u00a0‘Pinwheels for Prevention’<\/em><\/strong> and each\u00a0of our offices will\u00a0display\u00a0a\u00a0pinwheel garden as a symbol for child abuse prevention.\u00a0The pinwheel represents hope, health and happiness. The pinwheel is a happy and uplifting symbol of childhood and represents our efforts to ensure the healthy development of children.
