The Big Picture: Why Awareness Matters
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Child Abuse Prevention Month
Mosaic Georgia is participating in a variety of events. Click here to learn more about all that's happening in April to raise awareness.

From her work as an advocate for the past 5 years, Sara Cherry knows first hand that raising awareness on a difficult topic is not easy--but it's vitally important. Because awareness leads to conversations, and conversations lead to change. Hear her thoughts on what April means as a month of awareness and how that translates to an annual commitment to prevent future violence.
