Prevention Matters in NJ: Issue #44
June 5th, 2012
 Bernie and Sally Miller of Belmawr, NJ lost their granddaughter, Jessica, ten years ago when she died from injuries inflicted by her stepfather. Jessica was living in Florida with her mother and stepfather. Her father was stationed between Georgia and Florida serving in the Air Force. He was actively working to get child welfare involved. Like any family,
The Millers were devastated by this experience.
The programs of Prevent Child Abuse-New Jersey operate in each of the 21 counties of the state to prevent tragedies like this from ever happening.
On this, the 10th anniversary of Jessica's death, we ask that you help strengthen our prevention work which builds happy, healthy families statewide by

 Prevent Child Abuse-New Jersey is proud to unveil a series of new training and workshop sessions under
the Enough Abuse campaign. Together with our partners, our goal is to educate all adults in New Jersey about the nature and scope of the epidemic and to equip them with valuable skills to prevent child sexual abuse from ever happening.
We have a variety of sessions available for all types of groups, organizations, and businesses. If the safety and healthy development of children in New Jersey is a priority for you,
we have the tools you need to ensure their brilliant future.
 Prevent Child Abuse-New Jersey has been fortunate to receive incredible support over the last few months:
