Opioid crises weighs on Guardian ad Litem program

Jennifer Travieso 5/9/182:55 PM

Each day a child is a victim of abuse or neglect. April was Child Abuse Prevention Month. During the month, the nation focused on child abuse prevention and the goal for all children to have a safe, healthy nurturing childhood. The Guardian ad Litem Program works every day to achieve that goal.

“Every child deserves a safe, healthy and permanent home. Every child deserves a great childhood,” said GAL Program Circuit Director Deborah Moore.

The GAL Program is volunteer-based, and advocates in court and in the community for children who have experienced abuse and neglect.

“We work with our advocacy team to achieve better outcomes for these children and families,” said Moore.
