Honoring Child Abuse Prevention Month, Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and National Crime Victims’ Rights Week

Throughout April, the Washington County Child Abuse Multidisciplinary Team joins with Washington County leaders and community-based organizations to honor Child Abuse Prevention Month, Sexual Assault Awareness Month and National Crime Victims’ Rights Week.
