Henry and Stark County Health Department Staff Wear Blue for Child Abuse Prevention Month

Staff members at the Henry and Stark County Health Departments, along with First Choice Healthcare Clinics in Kewanee, Colona, and Toulon, are wearing blue this April to highlight Child Abuse Prevention Month. The campaign, themed “Pinwheels of Possibility” for 2026, focuses on building stronger families through support, resources, and positive environments. The blue pinwheel symbolizes the joyful childhood that every child deserves. Local officials stress that while child abuse and neglect cases are reported each year, prevention is possible. Community involvement is key to fostering safety and well-being for children today and for generations to come.
