Child Parent Institute

In 1989, the Blue Ribbon Campaign to Prevent Child Abuse began when a grandmother in Virginia created it to honor her grandson, whose life was tragically cut short by abuse.

Each April, during National Child Abuse Prevention Month, communities come together to highlight the importance of working collectively to prevent child abuse maltreatment and to help families thrive.

In Sonoma County alone, there were 9,048 reports of child abuse last year, with 167 cases confirmed.

At the Child Parent Institute, we are dedicated to ending child abuse and strengthening the well-being of children, parents and families. In partnership with Prevent Child Abuse - Sonoma County, we host a range of events throughout the year to raise awareness and underscore the urgent need for prevention.

We invite you to join us in these vital efforts. Visit calparents.org/blueribbon
