CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH: APRIL 2026

Scroll Below to View our Virtual Pinwheel Garden!

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, and CASA of Galveston County is raising awareness of the need for more dedicated members of the community to step up and become CASA volunteers, and help end child abuse and neglect, through supporting children and their families.
CASA volunteers, or Court Appointed Special Advocates, are everyday people from all walks of life who are recruited and specially trained to advocate for children in foster care and provide a consistent, reliable adult presence for them during a difficult time in their life.

If you see abuse, report it to 1 (800) 252-5400 or go to www.txabusehotline.org. If a child’s life is in danger, call 911.
