Fairfield County recently issued the following announcement.

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and Family, Adult and Children First Council encourages all residents of Fairfield County to join the Ohio Children’s Trust Fund’s 

#EverydayOhioHeroes campaign to raise awareness of child abuse and neglect prevention and promote a call to action to encourage all adults to, “Be a Hero in the Eyes of a Child 

one simple act of encouragement at a time.” “We all have a role to play in preventing child abuse and neglect,” said Lindsay Williams, Executive Director of the Ohio Children's Trust Fund. 

“One way we can do that is by creating positive childhood experiences. When children feel safe and supported in their families and communities they grow into well-adjusted 

adults.” One way for families to create a positive environment for growth and development for a child, is to incorporate weekly family time in forms of fun and engaging activities, 

such as game night, family dinners, and visiting our local parks. Visit our Council website to learn more about the opportunities and resources in the Fairfield County Community. In 

Ohio, everyday heroes such as parents, family members, educators, service providers, public officials and members of the faith-based community share the responsibility to create 

positive childhoods. All of us play a critical role in ensuring that children are safe, supported, and afforded the opportunity for a promising future without fear of abuse and neglect. 

Join the #EverydayOhioHeroes in communities across Ohio who are creating positive childhoods for our youth. Positive childhoods lead to promising futures. “The Fairfield County 

Community is a supportive network of providers that builds resiliency with families, to ensure positive outcomes.”—Dumitru “Raz” Sabaiduc, Executive Director Fairfield County 

Family, Adult and Children First Council. For more information about child abuse prevention programs and resources in your community, visit octf.ohio.gov.
