COVID-19 Child Protection Response

Shelter in place is critical to flatten the curve and keep our community safe from coronavirus. Unfortunately, it can also put vulnerable children and adults at risk of abuse and maltreatment. And with at least 20% of abuse reports not occurring because kids aren’t in school, we need to be extra vigilant to protect our loved ones.
