Good Morning North Augusta: Strong Families, Strong Community: Prevention Starts with Us

Join us for an upcoming Good Morning North Augusta as we recognize Child Abuse Prevention Month with a meaningful and inspiring conversation focused on building stronger families and a stronger community.

In partnership with Children's Place, Inc., this special program will feature a brief, high-impact panel discussion: Strong Families, Strong Community: Prevention Starts with Us

You'll hear from local leaders across education, healthcare, and business as they share how prevention happens every day, and how each of us can play a role. From supporting working families to creating safe, connected environments for children, this conversation will leave you with practical, actionable takeaways you can apply immediately.

As part of the program, tables will be decorated with blue and silver pinwheels, a national symbol representing hope, healthy childhoods, and the power of communities working together.

This is not a heavy conversation, it's a forward-looking, solutions-driven discussion designed to inform, inspire, and empower.
 

Panelists:
> Peggy Ford, Executive Director, Children's Place, Inc.
> Lauren Molony, Community Outreach Director, Children's Place, Inc.
> Jawonna Coleman, Social Worker, North Augusta High School
