Expressing support for the goals and ideals of National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

Preventing child abuse and supporting families. This resolution would endorse National Child Abuse Prevention Month and highlights findings that adverse childhood experiences drive major health problems and large economic costs. It notes about 1 in 7 children experience abuse each year, that the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received 36,210,368 CyberTipline reports in 2023, and estimates a roughly $2.0 trillion lifetime economic burden from child maltreatment. The resolution would call for public awareness, survivor healing and justice, and more investment in evidence-based prevention like Healthy Families America.
