🌐🛡️ June is Internet Safety Month! 🛡️🌐

As children and teens spend more time online for gaming, socializing, and learning, it is important for parents, caregivers, and community members to stay informed about online safety. Internet Safety Month is dedicated to raising awareness and helping families protect youth from online risks.

This year's focus is PAWS: Think Twice! 🐾

🔒 P – Private Info Stays Private
Never share personal information such as your name, address, school, phone number, passwords, or location online.

🗣️ A – Alert a Trusted Adult
If something online makes you uncomfortable, tell a parent, caregiver, teacher, or another trusted adult.

🚶 W – Walk Away from Uncomfortable Situations
Leave conversations, games, or websites that make you feel unsafe, pressured, or confused.

👥 S – Screen Your Friends
Remember that not everyone online is who they claim to be. Be cautious when interacting with people you only know through the internet.

🎮 Parents and caregivers are encouraged to join a FREE live webinar on June 23 at 2:00 PM Eastern Time: "Video Games and Your Child: Spotting Red Flags and Staying Safe Online." Topics include how gaming platforms have evolved, warning signs of unsafe online interactions, and practical tools families can use to help keep children safe.

The internet can be a powerful tool for learning and connection, but it also presents risks including online exploitation, cyberbullying, sextortion, and unsafe interactions. Open conversations, active supervision, and education remain some of the most effective ways to protect children online.

If you suspect a child is being exploited online or is in immediate danger, contact law enforcement or report concerns to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

💜 Thank You, Rae of Hope Ministry, Inc. 💜

We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Rae of Hope Ministry, Inc. for creating a safe and welcoming space this weekend for important conversations surrounding domestic violence, gun violence, grief, healing, and hope.

The event brought together community members and professionals to discuss topics that impact countless individuals and families throughout our communities. We were honored to participate alongside Lieutenant Sharra Carter of the Reidsville Police Department, Risa Hanau of AuthoraCare Collective, and our own Executive Director, Maryjane Webb, who shared their unique perspectives on violence prevention, victim support, grief, loss, healing, and the importance of community collaboration.

Rae of Hope Ministry is dedicated to supporting individuals and families impacted by violence, loss, and trauma by fostering healing, education, advocacy, and connection. Their willingness to create opportunities for honest dialogue helps break down barriers, reduce stigma, and encourage individuals to seek support when they need it most.

These conversations matter. Domestic violence, gun violence, and grief do not exist in isolation—they affect families, workplaces, schools, faith communities, and neighborhoods. By coming together to learn, listen, and support one another, we strengthen our collective ability to respond with compassion and action.

Our community is fortunate to have a network of organizations working together to support those impacted by violence and loss. Through partnerships between law enforcement, healthcare providers, faith communities, victim service agencies, and other community organizations, individuals and families can access resources, advocacy, counseling, support groups, safety planning, and other critical services.

We are grateful to Rae of Hope Ministry for their leadership and hospitality, and we appreciate the opportunity to stand alongside dedicated partners who share a commitment to healing and hope.

Together, we are stronger. Together, we can continue building a community where difficult conversations lead to understanding, support, and positive change.

📣 Join Us for an Important Community Conversation on Elder Abuse Awareness 📣

In recognition of World Elder Abuse Awareness Month, we look forward to attending RCARE's Elder Abuse Awareness Event on Friday, June 12, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

This educational event will bring together local experts to discuss the many forms of elder abuse and exploitation affecting older adults in our communities, including financial scams, neglect, physical abuse, emotional abuse, and self-neglect. Attendees will hear from representatives of RCARE, the Reidsville Police Department, the NC Senior Medicare Patrol Program, Rockingham County Adult Protective Services, and Help, Incorporated: Center Against Violence.

As part of the program, our Executive Director, Maryjane Webb, will present "Aging with Dignity: Recognizing Abuse, Building Support, and Staying Safe," focusing on identifying warning signs, strengthening support systems, and helping older adults maintain safety and independence.

Elder abuse is often hidden and underreported. According to national estimates, millions of older adults experience some form of abuse, neglect, or exploitation each year, yet only a fraction of cases are ever reported. Financial exploitation alone costs older Americans billions of dollars annually. As our population ages, it becomes increasingly important for all of us to recognize the warning signs and know how to respond.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, observed each year on June 15, serves as a reminder that protecting older adults is not a one-day effort....it is a year-round responsibility. Whether it is checking on a neighbor, helping a loved one understand potential scams, reporting concerns, or simply staying connected with older adults who may be isolated, each of us has a role to play.

Together, we can help ensure that every older adult in our community is treated with the dignity, respect, and care they deserve.

Please join us as we stand together to raise awareness, promote prevention, and support the safety and well-being of older adults throughout Rockingham County.

Please join us in congratulating our four Forensic Interviewers and therapist from Kaleidoscope Children’s Advocacy Center on their recent attendance at the 2026 Carolinas’ Seaside Symposium on Child Abuse in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina!

Hosted by the Children's Advocacy Centers of North Carolina and the South Carolina Network of Children's Advocacy Centers, the symposium brought together hundreds of professionals from across the Carolinas and beyond who are dedicated to protecting children and strengthening multidisciplinary responses to child abuse. Participants engaged in specialized training focused on forensic interviewing, victim advocacy, mental health treatment, medical response, investigations, prosecution, trauma-informed care, and best practices for supporting children and families impacted by abuse.

Throughout the week, our team had the opportunity to learn from nationally recognized experts, collaborate with fellow child abuse professionals, and explore innovative approaches that will further strengthen the services provided to children and families in Rockingham County. The knowledge and skills gained through this training will directly enhance our ability to provide a compassionate, evidence-based, and child-focused response to allegations of abuse.

We are incredibly grateful for their commitment to continuous learning and professional excellence. The work of a forensic interviewer and child therapist requires extraordinary compassion, dedication, and resilience. Their willingness to invest in ongoing education ensures that the children and families we serve receive the highest quality care and support during some of the most difficult times in their lives.

Thank you for representing Kaleidoscope CAC and our community so well. Your dedication to helping children find hope, healing, and justice is appreciated more than words can express. 💙
