## Summary

**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.
