April 2025

As we step into April, the promise of longer, sunnier days is on the horizon, even if spring is taking its time to warm up.

April is an exciting month filled with many significant national awareness designations, all providing opportunities to get involved, support, and learn about a variety of issues.

At The Children's Cabinet, we are once again planting pinwheels across the state to recognize National Child Abuse Prevention Month. These pinwheels symbolize the joy and innocence of childhood, serving as a powerful reminder that every child deserves a safe and nurturing environment. We also invite you to join us on April 4th for #GoBlue Day by wearing blue to show your support for child abuse prevention efforts. Together, we can raise awareness and stand up for the well-being of children in our community.

Beyond child abuse prevention, April is filled with other meaningful designations, including Stress Awareness Month, Autism Acceptance Month, Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Nevada Food Waste Awareness Month, and Alcohol Awareness Month. Each of these causes provides an opportunity to learn, take action, and make a positive impact. Whether it's attending an event, sharing resources, or simply starting a conversation, small actions can create big change.

As we embrace this new month, I encourage you to find a cause that speaks to you and explore ways to get involved. Let’s work together to build a stronger, more supportive community—one step at a time.

Wishing you a bright and meaningful April!

As we celebrate 40 years of service in Nevada, we’re reflecting on the moments that shaped our journey. Throughout the year, we’ll be sharing highlights from our archives to illustrate how far we’ve come.

One of those moments took place nearly 30 years ago on June 1, 1996, when we teamed up with our community for Stand for Children. Click the button below to explore our timeline and learn more about this moment in our history!

Our annual Pinwheels for Prevention event is on Thursday, April 3rd from 10am - 1pm. We invite you to join us at the Women and Children's Center of the Sierra (3905 Neil Rd #2, Reno, NV 89502) as we come together to plant pinwheels, raise awareness, and show our support for the well-being of children in Nevada. We will also be joined by 25 partner agencies who will offer valuable resources and information to the public.

We hope to see you there!

April 4th is Go Blue Day! Join our team in wearing blue on April 4th to raise awareness of Child Abuse Prevention. Tag us in your photos on social media and use the hashtag #GoBlueNV!
