In advance of National Child Abuse Prevention Month, Positive Childhood Alliance Georgia and the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services, Prevention and Community Support Section hosted prevention partners at the state capitol on March 18.
Representatives from PCA Georgia, DFCS, local PCA Georgia councils, elected officials, and others gathered for a photo with Gov. Brian Kemp and First Lady Marty Kemp. A proclamation signed by Gov. Kemp commemorates April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month.
District 42 State Senator Elena Parent was a liaison for this year’s event at the Gold Dome.
The recent rebranding from Prevent Child Abuse Georgia to Positive Childhood Alliance was top of mind at the event. Launching the rebrand on March 1 added a fresh perspective to the work of PCA Georgia and its supporters, according to PCA Georgia Executive Director Jennifer Stein.
“The name Positive Childhood Alliance Georgia highlights our dedication to a Georgia where every child grows up with opportunities for growth, safety, and joy in a supportive, nurturing environment. It also underscores the importance of collaboration with our statewide partners whose contributions make our work possible,” Stein said. “We are grateful for the governor’s support and that of our senate and house members as we work together to build hopeful futures for Georgia families.”
