Colorado Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline:
844-CO-4-KIDS
Through the Colorado Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline System, all hotline calls are immediately routed to the county where a child resides and the Colorado Department of Human Services is able to capture information critical to ensuring each call across the state is handled quickly and appropriately. This phone number for reporting suspected child abuse and neglect is 24/7, 365 days a year.
Learn more: https://co4kids.org/
If not you, then who? When it comes to preventing child abuse and neglect, caseworkers and social workers need your help.
SARA House is a child advocacy center accredited by the National Children's Alliance. We provide a child/family-friendly, safe, and neutral environment where police investigators and detectives, case workers, mental health therapists, forensic interviewers, and medical professionals can talk with children and their families. Watch the video below to learn more about what a CAC or child advocacy center is!
How about a nice ☀️summer☀️ walk/run on a gorgeous Morgan County farm for a good cause?🚶♀️🚶 Well we've got you covered! On June 18th, 2022 Keith Bath Farms will be hosting us for our first ever Prairie Run/Walk. Check out our registration form below for more info or visit https://www.sarahouseco.org/prairiechallenge/ for more information! We hope you'll join in on the fun with us!
In 2008, Prevent Child Abuse America introduced the pinwheel as the new national symbol for child abuse prevention through Pinwheels for Prevention®. By its very nature, the pinwheel connotes whimsy and childlike notions. In essence, it has come to serve as the physical embodiment, or reminder, of the great childhoods we want for all children.
The Pinwheels for Prevention® campaign provides a unique opportunity for all of us, individuals and organizations alike, to take action by learning more about prevention, supporting child and family friendly policies and services, and volunteering at the local, state, and national levels.
Did someone help you have a great childhood when you were young – perhaps a parent, sibling, teacher or coach? Do you help children in your life today have a great childhood – your own kids, nephews or nieces, or maybe children you mentor or babysit?
Throughout April, celebrate the lives you touch and those who have touched yours by honoring them with a pinwheel – the national symbol for the great childhoods all children deserve because our children are our future. #GrowingBetterTogether

Our SANE Coordinator had the opportunity to attend an Advanced Course on Strangulation Prevention in Wilsonville, OR! This training is the most comprehensive training on strangulation in the country and led by 3 of the top experts in the field of strangulation.
Some take-always our SANE/ SANE coordinator had as a result of this training:
“Strangulation facts I learned:
🔴Men who kill police officers often have a history of strangling women ( FBI Analysis of Officers Killed in the Line of Duty in 2019: 16% of known offenders had a prior DV arrest).
🔴Majority of women in America who are murdered are shot – strangulation is not meant to kill, it is meant to send the message to the victim “I CAN kill you” #lastwarningshot
🔴When women leave a strangler, the strangler becomes a stalker.
🔴Victims of strangulation are 1000% more likely of becoming a homicide victim – usually they are shot by their partner – and are more likely to be sexually assaulted.
And I learned SO MUCH MORE!!!”
We are always learning and continuing our education here at SARA and opportunities such as these allow our staff to develop their professional skills and expertise in the field we work in. This helps us educate our community partners and enact social change within our communities.

Some much needed baby goat therapy provided by our SANE nurse and coordinator, Deb. She breeds goats, makes soap and some delicious ice cream from their milk. Trust us, goat ice cream 🍦is actually really tasty! Oh the joys of living in rural Colorado! 👩🌾🐄🐐🐖🐓
Hope reminds us that we need to take time to enjoy the little and cute things in life, whether that be taking a break, petting a cutie like her, or even taking a mid-morning stretch.
Caring for ourselves is important and sometimes it just takes a little slow down to hold a baby goat. Thank you Deb for sharing this little gem with us! In the meantime, share with us what your little slow downs look like, we always love new ideas!
