April is Child Abuse Prevention Month
Help Ralston House: Plant a Pinwheel Garden
Ralston House, the child advocacy center in Colorado’s First Judicial District, is recognizing Child Abuse Prevention Month in Jefferson County on behalf of the 857 children who were interviewed at Ralston House in 2011. Nationally 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 10 boys will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday.
Ralston House child advocacy center is a nationally-accredited nonprofit agency that helps children and teens who are suspected of being sexually or physically abused. We work with police departments, social services and district attorneys to provide forensic interviews, forensic sexual assault medical exams and support services. Comprehensive services at child-friendly Ralston House help child victims and their families begin the healing process after traumatic experiences.
