April is Child Abuse Prevention month and April 4th, 2023 is Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) Day in South Carolina. Many professionals and CAC supporters will join Attorney General Alan Wilson, the South Carolina Network of Children’s Advocacy Centers (SCNCAC), Children’s Trust of South Carolina, and members of the General Assembly for the 12th Annual Children’s Advocacy Center Day both in person and via livestream from the South Carolina State Capitol.

Governor McMaster has issued a Governor’s Proclamation declaring April 4, 2023 as Children’s Advocacy Center Day in South Carolina to recognize the valuable contributions that Children’s Advocacy Centers make to protect children and enhance the response to child abuse. In addition, the South Carolina House of Representatives has approved House Resolution 4154 and the South Carolina Senate has approved Concurrent Resolution 629 declaring April 4, 2023 as Children’s Advocacy Center Day in South Carolina to recognize the work of Children’s Advocacy Centers in the statewide response to child abuse.

During the CAC Day press conference, we will present the 2023 BeHeard4Kids State Leadership Award. The press conference and awards presentation will provide information and announcements from Attorney General Alan Wilson and SCNCAC about the statewide response to child abuse in South Carolina and celebrate the work of Children’s Advocacy Centers to protect kids. In addition to the press conference at 1:00 PM, there will be other activities for CAC staff and MDT partners. Please save April 4th, 2023 for Children’s Advocacy Center.
