The City of Highland Park is partnering with the Lake County Children's Advocacy Center and the Office of the Lake County State's Attorney as part of the Blue Kids Campaign to raise awareness about child abuse prevention.

The Blue Kids Lake County initiative is designed to help parents and caregivers protect children from abuse. Blue Kids Lake County, a program of the Lake County Children's Advocacy Center, aims to create awareness around child abuse in Lake County, engage youth by promoting peer-to-peer support, and encourage education and participation from individuals and partner organizations to ensure that all children enjoy a safe childhood.

Blue Kids' child-focused information and promotional materials can help start important conversations with children about physical and online abuse.

The Lake County Children's Advocacy Center has prepared numerous resources for individuals and organizations to share. Materials for parents include documents about recognizing forms of abuse, teaching body safety, preventing child abuse and more. Resources are also available for businesses and organizations to help spread the word by displaying posters or signage.
