April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. Throughout the month, we will be providing tips and advice for parents and caregivers to help prevent and spot child abuse. At the Y, creating safe spaces for youth to learn, grow and thrive is our top priority. When we all know and understand the behaviors of those who may seek to harm youth, we are empowered to interrupt and prevent suspicious or inappropriate behaviors. Visit our website to learn how to recognize and respond to potential harm and boundary violations. https://www.oldcolonyymca.org/news/child-abuse-prevention-month-recognizing-boundary-violations-and-warning-signs #ChildAbusePreventionMonth (fb)

April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month and as a community serving organization, the Old Colony Y is sharing the #ABCsOfPD from the Parkinson’s Foundation, to help spread the word about this disease.
