An ancient philosopher once wrote, 'There is only one time when it is essential to awaken. That time is now.’ Pinwheels for Prevention® reminds us that now is the time to awaken to the role we all can play in the lives of children.”

For over a decade, market research consistently has shown that the public views child abuse and neglect as a serious problem. As a national organization whose mission is "to prevent the abuse and neglect of our nation's children," we must apply that research to engage all people in our society to act to prevent abuse and neglect from ever happening in the first place. Therefore, Prevent Child Abuse America is proud to unveil its new campaign, Pinwheels for Prevention ™ , introducing the pinwheel as a symbol for child abuse and neglect prevention nationwide.
Through this campaign, we will create a national effort to effect measurable change in the public's beliefs and behaviors regarding the prevention of child abuse and neglect. This goes beyond making Americans aware of our issue to motivating them to take an active role in prevention and in their community.
The pinwheel represents PCA America's efforts to change the way our nation thinks about prevention, focusing on community activities and public policies that prioritize prevention right from the start to make sure child abuse and neglect never occur.
Founded in Chicago in 1972, Prevent Child Abuse America is the nation's leading organization working solely to prevent the abuse and neglect or our nation's children.
Through its chapters in 47 states and its voluntary home visitation services provided by Healthy Families America® in more than 400 communities nationwide, Prevent Child Abuse
America helps provide healthy, stable and nurturing experiences for more than 100,000 families every year. For more information, please visit www.preventchildabuse.org and
