- Come by any of our centers for a tour to learn how we prevent child abuse and neglect! We have scheduled tours or you can contact us to schedule a time that works for you.
- Alert the authorities if you suspect a child is at risk of abuse. The KIDS Center has a great resource for reporting!
- Engage with others in the community! Talk to your friends, neighbors, and family about child abuse prevention. Share materials and let them know about MountainStar and KIDS Center. You can also take a Darkness to Light or SafetyNet training to learn how to keep children safe in our community.
- Wear a blue ribbon all month! We have dropped ribbons throughout the community in small buckets for everyone to take and wear with pride. Check out local businesses or partners for a blue ribbon.
