We were so glad to be a part of this year’s SAFE Symposium, and have the opportunity to hear from speakers like Jessica Armstrong, who shared powerful insights on child abuse prevention and our role in this work.
As the Utah State Board of Education’s primary provider of prevention education, we’re proud to be part of the work that helps Utah communities recognize, resist, and report child abuse. We’re grateful for everyone who shows up for children, because prevention takes all of us.💙
