Date: March 2, 2026
To: All clergy, principals, parish/school staff, religious sisters and brothers and parish and school secretaries
From: Sue Stubbs, director, director, Office of Victim Assistance Program and Jenni Weldin, director, Office of Human Resources and Safe Environment

In support of National Child Abuse Awareness Month, which begins April 1, we invite you to visit the web links below and review the following resources. The USCCB and others have created many resources that are powerful and effective in promoting awareness and healing of childhood abuse. It is well worth your time to review them and see how to best use them in your parish/school.  

  • United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB):  
  • Archdiocese of Atlanta Office of Victim Assistance: 
  • Prevent Child Abuse Georgia: 

We encourage you to share this information with your parish/school community during the month of April and beyond. Please know that we are here to assist you with any questions or suggestions. Thank you for all you do to keep kids safe!
