It's Child Abuse Prevention Month. Will YOU Take the Challenge?

April 6, 2022

The men of Communities Connected for Kids are putting the "MAN" in MANicure this National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

One by one, they are accepting the challenge to paint their index fingernails blue as a visual reminder that one in five children experience child abuse.

But this movement isn't just for the guys.

Regardless of who you are or whether or not you usually wear nail polish, you too can take the challenge. Simply paint one fingernail. You can use any color; the point is to draw attention to the one in five. Blue is best because its the color of child-abuse prevention month.

When someone asks you why you have one nail painted - tell them!

One finger nail painted blue also recognizes the impact that a single person can have in the life of a child.

Whether you are a foster parent, a guardian to your grandchild or just someone there to listen, you can be that one person who makes a difference.
