“Step Up for Kids” Recognizes Child Abuse Prevention Month

We’re so proud of our Healthy Families program and the crucial and ambitious efforts made by Children’s Trust every day – especially this past Wednesday at the Massachusetts State House. “Step Up for Kids” is an annual recognition of Child Abuse Prevention Month, bringing awareness and attention to supported daily cases of child abuse and neglect throughout the state with the symbolic placing of 70 pairs of shoes along the Grand Staircase of the State House. This year’s display came with a call for additional state funding to benefit our home-visiting workforce. The showing was covered by Channel 5 Boston. We are grateful for and honored by the recognition.” We’re so proud of our Healthy Families program and the crucial and ambitious efforts made by Children’s Trust every day – especially this past Wednesday at the Massachusetts State House. “Step Up for Kids” is an annual recognition of Child Abuse Prevention Month, bringing awareness and attention to supported daily cases of child abuse and neglect throughout the state with the symbolic placing of 70 pairs of shoes along the Grand Staircase of the State House.
