What is Child Abuse
Responding to child abuse starts with recognizing the signs.
Child abuse can take many forms. 1 in 10 children are abused before turning 18, which can leave life-long impacts on their mental and physical health. It is important that we all understand child abuse, recognize the signs, and take steps to keep children safe. You can learn more here about the different types and signs of child abuse. For more information, see the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study.
