Healthy Families Tennessee-Southwest

Every month is Child Abuse Prevention month for us, but during April the nation brings awareness with pinwheels, wearing blue, and lots of extra advocacy! Come see our pinwheel display on Skyline Drive in Jackson, TN!

Ever wonder why pinwheels are the symbol for Child Abuse Prevention?

We want all children to have the opportunity to have a safe, fun, and nurturing childhood! Find a pinwheel and remember the joy of play that we want to ensure all children get to enjoy.

Even our pups are Wearing Blue for Child Abuse Prevention Month! 🐶
