Savio- a Denver Lions Project
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month

National Child Abuse Prevention Month recognizes the importance of families and communities working together to strengthen families to prevent child abuse and neglect. Through this collaboration, prevention services and supports help protect children and produce thriving families. This is more important than ever as risks factors for abuse and neglect have increased since the start of the pandemic. 

What can you do to prevent child abuse and neglect in your community? 

Champion preventative programming such as SafeCare Parent Support. SafeCare is a free service delivered in-home where parents and caregivers learn to: 

- Identify and remove common safety hazards

- Increase positive behaviors and prevent difficult ones

- Identify and respond to common childhood illnesses and injuries 

Do you know a parent who could benefit from these services? Direct them to Savio website to learn more—most Denver area parents with at least one infant, toddler, or preschooler qualify.

Who can you call if you suspect abuse? 

Colorado Child Abuse Hotline: 844-CO-4-Kids   Available 24 hours a day, every day. Call if you suspect a child is experiencing abuse. Anyone witnessing a child in a life-threatening situation should call 911 immediately. 

What can you do to learn more about child abuse prevention? 

Throughout April, Savio will be sharing additional resources through our social media channels. Please follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to stay up to date on how you can support families as they work towards long-term stability and success. 

 
A Thank You
Small things Help a Lot
Dear Lions' Club,
A huge thank you from ACC on behalf of our client, Antoinette. She is a middle aged woman who was moved into a nursing home after an extended hospital stay. As this nursing home is purely paid for by Medicaid and Medicare, there are not many amenities. Antoinette shared the food was making her ill and she often wouldn't eat. She missed her fresh fruits and vegetables. ACC did not have funds to purchase a fridge even though a relatively small purchase could provide a large and positive life change for our client. The fridge was delivered to Antoinette by an ACC staff and she was extremely happy and thankful. She has a SNAP card and may purchase items to her liking. In addition she can be added to our food pantry delivery which provides culturally appropriate food to clients' homes. This will certainly all have a positive impact on her recovery. 
 
Thank you again for helping to make a client of ACC very happy and healthy!
 
With thanks,  Chelsea Primak,  Programs Manager  ECDC African Community Center
