Artwork reminds communities to protect children from abuse
During April — Child Abuse Prevention month — canvases painted by children were displayed in community locations and Geisinger clinics. Painting for Prevention kits were distributed to children by community groups, including the Nurse-Family Partnership, Susquehanna Valley United Way, Columbia County Family Center and the Geisinger Child Advocacy Center.
The Painting for Prevention project hopes to unite community members to prevent child abuse and neglect. The design for this year’s canvas includes an outline of the state with a sunny landscape, flowers and a blue ribbon, which is the national symbol for child abuse prevention.
Artwork is on display at Geisinger clinics, including Woodbine, Bloomsburg, Lewisburg, Lewistown, Kulpmont and many more.
