Title
Proclamation in Recognition of April 2015 as National Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month
Body
Whereas, child abuse and neglect is a serious problem and finding solutions requires input and action from everyone in our community. Our children are our most valuable resources and will shape the future of the State of Michigan and the City of Rochester Hills; and
Whereas, effective child abuse prevention activities succeed because of the meaningful connections created through organizations like CARE House of Oakland County, and through partnerships with education, health, faith-based organizations, businesses and law enforcement agencies; and
Whereas, communities must make every effort to promote programs and activities that benefit children and their families and we acknowledge that we must work together as a community to increase awareness about child abuse and continue to promote the social and emotional well-being of children and families in a safe, stable, nurturing environment.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Mayor and City Council of Rochester Hills do hereby proclaim April 2015 as NATIONAL CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT PREVENTION MONTH in Rochester Hills and urge all citizens to recognize this month by dedicating ourselves to the task of improving the quality of life for all children and families.
