#childabusepreventionmonth - important to know two things: (1) believe your child - #research has refuted that children make up #abuse #disclosures (2) all children hope for an #empathic #listener response. They want the #violence to stop. Amazing #free #curriculum @VEGA_Canada

[Jenny Kang @jenny20kang]

It's #ChildAbusePreventionMonth in the US and to support #survivors of #childabuse, it's important to advocate and raise awareness on the topic with continuous education and discussion. #ThrivingFamilies @DrWekerle @katherinekim__

[Olivia Heid @OliviaHeid1]

April is national #ChildAbusePreventionMonth in the US. In solidarity with survivors of child abuse, it is important to educate ourselves on ongoing initiatives to prevent #childabuse in boys and girls.

"A policy of separating children from parents at the U.S. border is traumatic and is emotional abuse of the child." State immigration #policy CAN NOT come at the expense of #childrenshealth. Read more: https://t.co/hiHW9tHmVG @DrWekerle

A recent study suggests that using social media (SoMe) to post about #resilience research increases #youth engagement. SoMe can be a useful tool for researchers to engage with different audiences. #openaccess #mentalhealth @DrWekerle @katherinekim__ https://t.co/urwvg0vnJ6
