A resolution expressing support for the designation of April 2026 as "National Child Abuse Prevention Month", and the goals and ideals of National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

National Child Abuse Prevention Month designates April 2026 to focus public attention on preventing child abuse, supporting survivors, and advancing justice. The resolution highlights adverse childhood experiences, or ACEs, as lasting traumas tied to major health burdens and says preventing them could avoid up to 21 million cases of depression, 1.9 million cases of heart disease, and 2.5 million cases of overweight or obesity. It cites 2024 data of about 7.7 million child protective services referrals, estimates that 1 in 7 children yearly face abuse or neglect, notes sexual abuse rates of 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 13 boys, and stresses public education and evidence-based home visiting to reduce harm.
