The support we give and the examples we set form cornerstone for their success, and by teaching our children to trust in themselves, we equip them with confidence, hope, and determination that can last a lifetime. Tragically, neglect and abuse erode this fundamental promise for too many young Americans. During National Child Abuse Prevention Month, we renew our commitment to break the cycle of violence, strengthen support for all who have been affected, and empower our young people with the best we have to offer. Over half a million American children suffer neglect or abuse every year. A strong and well-informed family unit is the surest defense against child abuse, and parents and caregivers who have support from relatives, friends, neighbors, and their communities are more likely to provide safe and healthy homes for their children. Trusted friends and active community members can help ensure families get the support they need by offering their time and resources, taking an active role in children’s lives, and fostering a safe environment for young people to learn and grow. By coming together in service to our communities, we do more to meet our obligation to do right by the next generation. My Administration continues to prioritize the health and well being of children across our country. With partners at every level of government and throughout the private sector, we are supporting services that protect young Americans from abuse and neglect and extend help to those who have been affected. We are investing in early learning programs and supporting initiatives that promote positive outcomes for children and families. And we are connecting parents and professionals to new tools to identify, treat, and prevent abuse. I encourage all Americans to learn more about what they can do at: www.ChildWelfare.gov/Preventing. Every child deserves the opportunity to grow up with the promise and protection of a loving family. This month, we recommit to that vision, and to providing care, stability, and a brighter future for our sons and daughters. NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim April 2012 as National Child Abuse Prevention Month. I call upon all Americans to observe this month with programs and activities that help prevent child abuse and provide for children’s physical, emotional, and developmental needs. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this second day of April, in the year of our Lord two thousand twelve, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-sixth. BARACK OBAMA 6 Letter from the Acting Assistant Secretary, Administration for Children and Families DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Administration for Children and Families Administration on Children, Youth and Families 1250 Maryland Avenue, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20024 Dear Participants: Welcome to Washington, D.C. and the 18th National Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect, our nation’s foremost training event for policy makers, practitioners, and researchers involved in promoting child safety and well-being. During this event we are also celebrating the centennial anniversary of the Children’s Bureau. This milestone is not simply a recognition of the passage of time or the longevity of the Children’s Bureau. Rather, it is a commemoration of our 100 year commitment to the welfare of all children. From the prevention of maltreatment, to child protection, to family preservation and support, to adoption and foster care, the Children’s Bureau has provided leadership and a steady hand guided by best practices, standards for effectiveness and accountability, and critical research to promote child welfare and improved outcomes for our nation’s children and families. This conference provides us with an opportunity to celebrate past achievements in child welfare, and to draw on 100 years of experience in charting a future course for ensuring the continued safety and well-being of America’s children.

  • Debbie Reynolds & Singin' in the Rain at WHBF 2013
    Meet Legendary Actress, Comedienne, Singer, and Dancer And Join Us for a Very Special Park Stage Screening of Singin' in the Rain to Celebrate Reynolds' New Memoir, Unsinkable Including a Park Stage In-Conversation at 5:30 p.m., Book Soup In-Booth Signing at 6:15 p.m., followed by an Open-to the-Public Park Stage Screening at 7:00 p.m. For more information on schedule and start times, please visit WHBF.org for updates. About Debbie Reynolds and Unsinkable The definitive memoir by legendary actress and performer Debbie Reynolds—an entertaining and moving story of enduring friendships and unbreakable family bonds, of hitting bottom and rising to the top again—that offers a unique and deeply personal perspective on Hollywood and its elite, from the glory days of MGM to the present. In the closing pages of her 1988 autobiography Debbie: My Life , Debbie Reynolds wrote about finding her "brave, loyal, and loving" new husband. After two broken marriages, this third, she believed, was her lucky charm. But within a few years, Debbie discovered that he had betrayed her emotionally and financially, nearly destroying her life. Today, she writes, "When I read the optimistic ending of my last memoir now, I can't believe how naive I was when I wrote it. In Unsinkable, I look back at the many years since then, and share my memories of a film career that took me from the Miss Burbank Contest of 1948 to the work I did in 2012. To paraphrase Bette Davis: Fasten your seatbelts, I've had a bumpy ride." Unsinkable shines a spotlight on the resilient woman whose talent and passion for her work have endured for more than six decades.

  • “Parents and Children's Experiences in Family Play Therapy”
    Parents’ and Children’s Experiences in Family Play Therapy By Catherine L. McMonigle Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Human Development Eric McCollum Committee Chair Eliana Gil Committee Member Angela Huebner Committee Member April 30, 2008 Falls Church, Virginia Keywords: play therapy, family play therapy, perceptions, experiences, parents, children Copyright 2008, Catherine L. McMonigle Parents’ and Children’s Experiences in Family Play Therapy By Catherine L. McMonigle (ABSTRACT) Family Play Therapy is a creative therapeutic approach to engage children in therapy in the context of their family system. While the young field of family play therapy offers both the benefits of family therapy and play therapy, research concerning its efficacy is largely unavailable. The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand the experience of family play therapy in context of child sexual abuse treatment, from the perspective of child clients and their parents. A secondary purpose of this descriptive study was to provide contextual data to inform future quantitative research on family play therapy. In separate, semi-structured and open-ended interviews, eight children and their non-offending parents described their therapy experience of the family puppet interview intervention, in which they created and acted out a story with puppets. Participants’ descriptions of their experience revealed five broad themes: (1) the perceived benefits of play (what participants liked), (2) parents feelings about play as a medium, (3) parent’s perceived role in the session, (4) children’s thoughts about family participation in therapy, and (5) suggestions for improvement.

  • Recognize and Report: Child Care Providers Have the Power to Prevent
    RECOGNIZE AND REPORT: CHILD CARE PROVIDERS HAVE THE POWER TO PREVENT CHILD ABUSE A White Paper of Regulatory Recommendations By Laurie Furstenfeld, Staff Attorney California Health and Safety Regulatory Workgroup October 2014 Updated January 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2013, child protective services (CPS) agencies in California received more than 80,000 substantiated reports of child abuse and neglect.1 Almost half concerned children 5 and younger, who are at highest risk for maltreatment. Many of these children were among the approximately one million attending licensed child care homes and centers in our state.2 Very young children spend more time with child care providers than with any adults other than family members. Recognizing the close relationship between child care providers and the children in their care, California law includes child care providers among “mandated reporters”— professionals who are legally obligated to report suspected abuse or neglect to CPS agencies.3 Proper CPS intervention following a CPS report is a key deterrent to recurring child abuse and neglect.4 And yet in 2013 only 1.6 percent of substantiated reports of abuse and neglect of children through age 5 came from “day care and foster care.”5 This disproportionately small number strongly suggests that child care providers underreport suspected abuse. Despite their status as “mandated reporters,” California does not require that child care providers receive any training in recognizing signs of child maltreatment or in how to navigate the complicated reporting system.6 In fact, a national evaluation ranked California’s standards for child care regulations and oversight near the bottom.7 We are one of only two states that require no annual training for child care providers.8 California Community Care Licensing Division offers family child care home licensees and child care center directors only the most basic information on the role of mandated reporters; other child care staff do not receive even that.
