Lend a Hand Virtual Event

On Thursday, April 8, join ACH Child and Family Services for a virtual interview with Tia Magee, ACH's Youth Emergency Shelter Manager and focus of Netflix's Redd Zone, and her son Brandon Magee, producer, and former professional athlete. They’ll be discussing Child Abuse Prevention Month and Tia’s experience helping youth in crisis. Register online to attend this virtual event.

ACH’s Youth Emergency Shelter provides shelter for youth (ages 10-17) in a crisis, and April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Lend A Hand plays an integral part in preparing for a community-wide campaign during the month of April. The goal is for every participant to make a commitment to address child abuse and neglect in Tarrant and the surrounding counties. ACH Child and Family Services believes that attacking this issue on a grass-roots level will lead to greater success in getting the public engaged in an issue that truly affects everyone.

Committing to something as simple as starting a water cooler conversation at the office or hosting a conversation at home brings attention to the issue. In addition, ACH supporters can commit to learning more and taking action in areas, such as volunteering with participating organizations, becoming a foster or adoptive parent, sponsoring a mentor, or donating to support the work being done to eliminate child abuse and neglect in our communities.
