Motion by Commissioner Wisdom, second by Commissioner Clevenger, 3 votes yes, 0 votes no, that Commissioners Court approved the proclamation as submitted by the Hockley County Child Welfare Board proclaiming April as Child Abuse Awareness Month. as per Child Abuse Month proclamation recorded below. CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH PROCLAMATION Children thrive in safe, stable, nurturing families, within their own Texas communities. While it is critical to build a system that supports families when they are in a crisis, intentionally supporting families before they are in crisis is essential to preventing the abuse and maltreatment ofTexas children. Through establishing partnerships with families that capitalize on the collective strengths of parents and their children we can build strong, healthy families and resilient communities where children can thrive, Sadly, child maltreatment is still a significant public health issue. Communities that lack accessible support and resources can experience increased risk factors that lead to child abuse and neglect. Despite the complex factors that can lead to child maltreatment, it can be prevented. Each year, the month of April is dedicated to recognizing the critical work being done across our great state to support families before a crisis occurs and offer them accessible lifelines that mitigate the challenges they face. Child abuse prevention occurs every day through the diligent work and tireless advocacy undertaken by Texas families, friends, neighbors, houses offaith, advocacy groups, nonprofit organizations, schools, health-care providers, social workers, and government agencies to support children and families in every community across the Lone Star State, Child abuse prevention cannot be tasked to one community, agency, or system. Behind many families that succeeded is a strong community that provided a way for the family to become self-sufficient, stable, and thrive. All Texans must work together to strengthen our communities and build localized supports that are accessible, contribute to the well-being ofthe entire community, and keep children and families safe and together. I encourage all Texans to learn more about the many aspects of our communities working hard to create positive, healthy environments for the future leaders of our great state and nation. Together, we can create a brighter future for children, families, and communities in Texas and ensure tomorrow's leaders have the support they need to thrive and reach their potential. In official recognition whereof, I hereby affix my signature this the 7th day of April, 2025.
