The DeKalb Prevention Coalition (DPC) and DeKalb Community Advisory Board (CAB) are hosting “A Day at the Park” on April 6th from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. at Green Brook Park in Smithville.

The day is designed to be a Child Abuse Prevention and Foster Family Recruitment Event.  It is a free event for families and individuals, designed to educate the community about child abuse prevention and to also provide families with information about becoming Foster Parents.  There will be food, games and activities, speakers, and vendors.

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. During the month of April and throughout the year, the DeKalb Prevention Coalition and DeKalb Community Advisory Board encourages all individuals and organizations to play a role in making DeKalb County a better place for children and families.  By ensuring that parents have the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to care for their children, we can help prevent child abuse and neglect by making meaningful connections with children, youth, and families in our communities.

The CAB’s mission is to identify, utilize and create resources to help families and the community as a whole.  While the DPC works to promote a safe, healthy and productive environment that prevents destructive opportunities among the youth and adults of our community. The DPC and CAB meet together the last Tuesday of each month.
