KARE hosts events to recognize child abuse prevention month
In recognition of April as child abuse prevention month, KARE is inviting the community to join in celebrating the strength and hope that help families thrive.
The KARE House, a nationally accredited child advocacy center in Haywood County, is committed to creating a supportive environment where children can grow — free from abuse, neglect and exploitation in a collective effort involving parents, caregivers, community leaders and advocates. Research shows that positive childhood experiences, such as nurturing relationships and safe environments, are crucial for healthy development and resilience. KARE encourages everyone to get involved in strengthening families by offering resources that prevent abuse before it starts.
This month, KARE is hosting several events to raise awareness and promote prevention: wear Blue Day on April 4, and tag social media photos with #WearBlueDay2025 and/or #PCANC; join KARE on April 30 for a gathering at the old courthouse steps to raise awareness in Haywood County and dine at participating restaurants during April Percentage Days. Contact KARE for free trainings to help adults recognize and respond to child abuse. Learn more at karehouse.org.
