April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month

Every year, Department of Social Services Commissioner (DSS) Joan Silvestri hosts a “Pinwheels for Prevention” event to raise awareness for child abuse prevention. The pinwheel garden represents what we want for every child – a happy, safe, and carefree childhood.

District Attorney Tom Walsh thanks the employees from the Department of Social Services, Center for Safety & Change, and other agencies who do the hard but important work on behalf of children.
