WHAT IS PINWHEELS FOR PREVENTION?
www.preventchildabuse.org and www.dcyf.wa.gov/news/pinwheels-prevention-campaign
In 2008 Prevent Child Abuse America introduced the Pinwheels for Prevention® campaign. What their research showed, and what their experiences since then have reinforced, is that people respond positively to pinwheels, which represent childlike whimsy and lightheartedness and their vision for a world where all children grow up happy, healthy, and prepared to succeed in supportive families and communities.
Children who are raised with safe, stable, and nurturing relationships and environments are more academically and financially successful and grow up to be productive, contributing members of their communities. Pinwheels are a reminder that we all play a role in children’s lives.
The Pinwheels for Prevention campaign provides a unique opportunity for all of us – businesses, individuals, and organizations alike – to take action by learning more about child abuse prevention, supporting child friendly policies and services, and volunteering within the community. By planting pinwheels on the lawns of local businesses and residences, the community rallies together to show solidarity in our commitment to keep children safe and free from abuse and neglect.
