April is National Child Abuse Prevention month, and The Children's Place Alaska held a coloring contest for kids to enter, coloring in a pinwheel to support awareness.  

The Children's Place provides a child-friendly, safe, and neutral location where law enforcement and CPS investigators conduct interviews with children who are alleged victims of crimes and receive support, crisis intervention, and referrals for treatment.

The links below provide great information about preventing child abuse.

We have proudly displayed all the entries on our lobby windows, with the selected winners inside at our front office.  All the kids did an excellent job, well done!

Please call your local law enforcement agency, The Children's Place, or the Office of Children's Services, or any other number of programs which are available, if you are victim or know someone who is, and need help.
