✨ Child Abuse Prevention Month ✨
I had the honor of serving on the “Building Positive Childhoods” panel yesterday at the Wake County DSS Building, joining experts from across the county to discuss how we can better support our children and families. 💪🏾
We explored practical, strengths-based strategies rooted in prevention, connection, and community—because helping children thrive starts with creating safe, supportive environments. 🤝🏾
One truth that resonated deeply: building positive childhoods starts with us. We have to be healthy, whole, and intentional so we can properly care for our children. 💙
I am incredibly grateful for our social services workers who show up every day committed to preventing child abuse and strengthening families. Your work does not go unnoticed. 🙌🏾✨
