Elea Fox, President and CEO of Family and Children’s Place, recently joined WHAS to discuss the critical importance of Child Abuse Prevention Month and the collective responsibility to protect children across our community. In this interview, Fox highlights the urgent need for increased awareness, early intervention, and access to trauma informed services that support children and families impacted by abuse and neglect.
As a leading voice in child advocacy and prevention, Fox emphasizes that child abuse prevention begins with education, strong community partnerships, and sustained investment in evidence-based programs that keep children safe. She also underscores the role individuals, organizations, and policymakers play in recognizing the signs of abuse and taking action to ensure every child has the opportunity to grow up in a safe and nurturing environment.
Family and Children’s Place remains at the forefront of child abuse prevention in Kentucky, providing essential services including forensic interviews, medical exams, and family support programs. This conversation serves as a timely reminder during Child Abuse Prevention Month that prevention is possible and that together, we can create a safer, healthier future for children and families in Louisville and beyond.
