Exchange Club of Mooresville - Lake Norman
PREVENTION of CHILD ABUSE
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month
In 1983, April became recognized as National Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) month. It is an opportunity to increase awareness and ignite collective action, to ensure America’s children live their best lives.
During the month of April, the Mooresville - Lake Norman Exchange creates blue and white CAP flag displays and pinwheels fly around the Lake Norman area to increase awareness. Pinwheels are symbolic of whimsicality and enjoyment found in childhood. They represent the wonderful childhoods each child deserves.
The Mooresville - Lake Norman Exchange club partnered with Pharos Parenting of Iredell County several years ago, taking the crucial mission of Child Abuse to heart. Pharos Parenting offers a multitude of programs and services to build positive parenting skills through targeted education, in-home coaching, and supportive intervention programs so that every child may experience a safe and stable home environment and be offered an opportunity for a bright future. Our club offers financial support, funds continuing education opportunities for the staff, and also sponsors the Pharos Annual Golf Tournament and Luncheon on an annual basis. Pharos Parenting is the ONLY child abuse prevention and resource center for families and parents in Iredell County.
If you feel that this support is needed for your family, you can contact them via their website, by phone at 704-878-2227, or visit them in person at their Statesville location.
