Throughout April, you’re invited to participate in simple, meaningful activities that highlight the vital role you play in protecting children and strengthening families. From wearing blue to engaging in classroom activities and sharing resources, every action makes a difference. Every interaction, every relationship, and every moment of care helps prevent child abuse and neglect. Join us in showing Tennessee that child safety starts with all of us.
