National Child Abuse Prevention Month (NCAPM) is observed annually in the United States during the month of April. It serves as a dedicated time to raise awareness about child abuse and neglect, as well as to emphasize the importance of communities working together to support and strengthen families while preventing child maltreatment

The Utah Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) provides thorough reports each year on the prevalence of child abuse and neglect. Becoming aware and informed on these statistics is the first step towards successfully promoting child safety and offering community-based services to the most vulnerable populations.
