It's time to get your team together and bring your A-game to take a swing at Child Abuse!!

Have you ever thought "what can I do to help the children?"
Well........every person matters in the fight against child abuse. You don't have to be the best golfer, have the best short game, or have the longest drive to come out and have a good time with us while we fight to come in first for the kids in Dyer County!

Bring your friends and enjoy some fun in the sun while we raise awareness and funds for the prevention of child abuse in Dyer and Lake Counties!!

Today I had the honor of spending the morning with the Practical Nursing class, at TCAT in Newbern. The class attended a Stewards of Children Child Sexual Abuse Training and learned the 5 ways everyone can prevent child sexual abuse. We had some great discussions about the practical application this information will have in the student's future careers as nurses. A big shout out to Ms. Creasy and the students in the Practical Nursing Program for inviting me to share the facts about child sexual abuse prevention!

Child Abuse Prevention Month is always full of events and happenings in the CAC and 2026 was no exception!
We had a great time last week at our CAP month CPIT meeting and hosting a CPIT Partner training with featured presenter Dr. Lisa Piercey on Forensic Medical Exams and their importance to the CPIT process. There is always something to learn and Dr. Piercey brought a wealth of knowledge and increased the team's understanding of how her work impacts cases, child welfare, and safety.
Thank you to our partners at DCS, Juvenile Court, the District Attorney's office, and all our law enforcement that showed up to review cases for CPIT and learn about Forensic Medical Exams!
It was a great way to close out Child Abuse Prevention month 2026!
