Oklahoma Child Abuse Hotline: 1-800-522-3511
April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month in the United States. During this month, we collaborate with other organizations to raise awareness about the seriousness of child abuse and neglect. Our goal is to inspire collective action to end child abuse and trauma, ensuring that children can lead their best lives. Importantly, child abuse knows no boundaries — it affects all races, ethnicities, genders, age groups and social or economic statuses.
This year, we are emphasizing the powerful message: “End child abuse, every day is a beautiful day to protect a child.” Our primary initiative is the SafeCare Home-Based Parenting program, an evidence-based approach designed to enhance parenting skills and support the health and well-being of children aged 0-5. By offering practical, supportive, and nonjudgmental guidance, this program empowers parents to confidently manage the challenges of raising young children.
Remember, everyone can play a role in supporting families to prevent child abuse and neglect. In Oklahoma, a mandatory reporting state, if you suspect that a child is being abused or neglected, you have a legal responsibility to report it. Reports can be made at any time to the Oklahoma Child Abuse Hotline by calling 1-800-522-3511. The hotline operates 24/7, and you can report concerns about child safety anonymously.
