FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 8, 2015 CONTACT: Andra Martinez, 317 375-5286 Sandy Runkle, 317-775-6439 | [email protected]
Helping Kids and Families in Marion County Prevent Child Abuse Indiana and the Children’s Bureau, Inc will team up on Thursday, October 29, 2015 at 7:30 pm to hold a prevent child abuse community forum at Fay Biccard Glick Neighborhood Center, 2990 W 71st St, Indianapolis, IN 46268. The event is open to anyone interested in learning more about preventing child abuse.
Prevent Child Abuse Indiana, a division of The Villages of Indiana, has been working to improve the lives of our state’s children for over thirty-five years, and is the chartered State Chapter of Prevent Child Abuse America.
Founded in 1851, Children's Bureau, Inc. works in partnership with the Indiana Department of Child Services and other organizations statewide. In 2014 the agency served 46,853 children and their families in 47 Indiana counties. Their mission is: "Preserving families and protecting the future of Indiana's children."
“Today’s children are Indiana’s future leaders, parents and workers. Our state’s future prosperity depends on their healthy development and growth,” says Heather Wildrick-Holman, Early Intervention Education & Training Coordinator for the Children’s Bureau. “With the support of engaged communities and nurturing families, all of Indiana’s children can thrive and have the opportunity to grow into caring, contributing and healthy adults.”
The organizing committee for the Prevention Council is encouraging all citizens to get involved in making Marion County a place where every child has an equal opportunity for healthy growth and development. This will take effort from every one of us — from policy-makers to parents — to ensure our children have the foundation to become tomorrow’s leaders. Helping our communities and families create healthy, nurturing environments for children is one of the best investments Indiana can make. ##
