Exciting HEAL PA News!
April is child abuse prevention month and HEAL Pa is excited to announce that it has been selected as the provisional chapter for PCA. As a Pennsylvania chapter, we will work closely with Prevent Child Abuse America to bring awareness to the issue of child abuse, educate the public on how to prevent it, and provide support and resources to those affected by it.

We are excited to announce our upcoming plans to pay tribute to National Child Abuse Prevention Month on April 3rd. As part of our efforts, we will be calling on our legislators to confirm the establishment of an Office of the Child Advocate and codify HEAL PA in the proposed legislation.
The confirmation of the Office of the Child Advocate is a significant step towards Pennsylvania's commitment to recognizing the value of every child, promoting evidence-based policies and practices, improving child welfare, and amplifying the voices of those with lived experience.
We welcome you to join us in planning this important press conference or to learn more about the event on April 3rd. For additional information or to get involved, please email us at info@healpa.org.
