For 40+ years, keeping kids safe has been at the heart of what we do: in 1979, our founders came together to help prevent child sexual abuse. Each year, we honor that legacy with our #HotChocolateTalk campaign for families. Visit HotChocolateTalk.org to learn more.
Growing up is hard. Kids need their families, teachers, and communities to support their social-emotional well-being so they can thrive. This #KidDay, tell a young person in your life why they matter: youtube.com/shorts/9iPtyTQxx… @CampFireNHQ
