In honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month in April, Christ’s Haven partnered with the Keller Police Department with an art installation of 481 blue pinwheels in honor of the 481 victims of child abuse in Tarrant County each month.
The following community leaders came together and shared a brief program about the importance of child abuse prevention:
- Cassie McQuitty, Christ’s Haven, CEO
- Will Brockmoller, Keller Police Department, Detective
- Misty Gann, Keller ISD, Social Worker
- Armin Mizani, City of Keller, Mayor
At Christ’s Haven, we want to stand in the gap for families in need. That means preventing child abuse by supporting families with our Family Resource Center utilizing these Protective Factors:
- Parental resilience
- Nurturing & attachment
- Knowledge of parenting & child development
- Concrete support in times of need
- Social connections
- Social-emotional competence of children
If you suspect abuse, please call the TX Abuse Hotline at 1-800-252-5400. We know all families go through challenging times. The Christ’s Haven Family Resource Center is here to help: christshaven.org/frc
