Arkansas House recognizes child abuse prevention month and honors CASA volunteers

The House recognizes April as Child Abuse Prevention Month in Arkansas and encourages residents to support efforts to protect children and strengthen families. The recognition applies in Arkansas, and the encouragement is directed to all residents. The recognition applies to April; the resolution gives no year or start date.

The House commends Arkansas CASA programs, their staff, and volunteers for their service to children and families. CASA programs recruit, train, and support volunteers appointed by judges to speak up for children in foster care who have experienced abuse or neglect. Upon adoption, the Chief Clerk provides Arkansas CASA programs with a copy of the resolution as a sign of the House's respect and appreciation.
