April is National Child Abuse Awareness Month
~Dreamcatchers For Abused Children~
March 2010 Page 1 VOL. # ONE ISSUE #1
There are LOTS of different ways that you can help educate people on child abuse & spread awareness:
PROMOTE US – One way is to try to get as many people as you can to look at our Abuse Page…If you could possibly find a place for us in your TOP FRIENDS & let your friend’s know that you are promoting child abuse awareness–it will help us to educate the public faster!! You will then be doing your part to help these children. Even if your friends only log on & read our site ONCE….they will remember the signs/symptoms to look for, who to contact, intervention, prevention & recovery of child abuse. JUST THINK OF HOW MANY CHILDREN’S LIVES COULD BE SAVED IF ALL INDIVDUALS WERE TRAINED ON WHAT TO LOOK FOR!!!
EDUCATE THE PUBLIC – Another simple thing you could do is to REPOST OUR BULLETINS–It helps to spread awareness & educate the public. And, tell all your friends about us—We are here to help!! Education & knowledge is the key to prevention!!!!
DISTRIBUTE – We have FREE full-colored brochures & business cards for public distribution which features all of our information along with photos, statistics, hotline numbers & our contact information. If you would like a FREE brochure, or would like a supply to distribute in your local area, please forward me your address & I will gladly mail one to you!!
 Sponsorship
 Donate
 Research
 Distribute
 Fundraise
 Volunteer
 Donate Your Time
 Educate The Public
 Promote Us
DONATE YOUR TIME – You could also look in your area at your local resources to see if they need volunteers (at the shelters, hospitals) This would be a way for you to learn more about the statistics of child abuse & to help your community. Recently, one of our members used our website as a POWERPOINT PRESENTATION at his church. He not only received a huge, positive response from his missionary, but also had a child come forward to report molestation that had been taking place in the nursery—THE MAN WAS ARRESTED!!! All because she saw our website, was educated, and KNEW to report this crime!!!
VOLUNTEER -We also allow child abuse advocates to "volunteer" to become VOLUNTEER DREAMCATCHERS. If interested, you would be an affiliate of DREAMCATCHERS FOR ABUSED CHILDREN & would receive a Volunteer Banner. You would then be asked to help promote child abuse awareness & education by recruiting members to your page, distributing our free publications and information and assisting members one-on-one. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact us.
SPONSORSHIP – You could also ask businesses in your area if they might be interested in sponsoring us either directly or by holding a fund raiser or charity event… We accept gift items, monetary donations, in-kind donations and/or goods & services.
DONATE – You can also make a donation through our SECURE PAYPAL site located on either of our websites. We accept all credit cards, debit cards & PayPal transfers are accepted. If you would like to make a donation, please visit: www.myspace.com/abused_children (or) www.dreamcatchersforabusedchildren.com
