Individuals and groups concerned about the rise in reports of child abuse and neglect have adopted the blue cause ribbon as a symbol of this issue.

The Blue Ribbons for Kids awareness initiative is an opportunity to remind ourselves of our collective responsibility to prevent child abuse and neglect. Encourage members of your community to wear and display blue ribbons during April, National Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month, and throughout the year. Together we can increase awareness about the need for child abuse and neglect prevention.
