#national child abuse prevention month

Councilmember Gabe Johnson introduced a ceremonial resolution that was unanimously adopted at Friday’s council meeting recognizing April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month and thanking the many nonprofit organizations committed to preventing child abuse and neglect in Maui County.

As April marks National Child Abuse Prevention Month, the Hoʻoikaika Partnership is excited to host the 4th annual ‘Ohana Fest “Journey to Make Pono” on Saturday, April 6, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Maui Nui Botanical Gardens. This event is designed for families who are eligible for services offered by partner agencies. The event includes activities, community resources, music and giveaways.

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month and the Ho’oikaika Partnership invites the Maui Nui community to join in promoting activities that strengthen ‘ohana, support the healthy development of keiki, and prevent child maltreatment.
