Child Abuse Prevention Month 2025

October is Child Abuse Prevention Month. Together, we can shine a light on this issue and take action to protect children in our communities.

Did you know?

• More than half of Canadians experienced some form of maltreatment before age 15—and in Alberta, that number rises to nearly 70% (Stats Canada, 2023)

• Child abuse is a serious public health crisis, linked to lifelong challenges such as anxiety, depression, addiction, and chronic illness.

Now is the time to stand up for children. Let’s create a future where every child grows up feeling safe, supported, and loved.

Together, our voices can make a difference and help stop abuse before it starts.
