As April approaches, a time nationally recognized as Child Abuse Prevention Month, Elea Fox, President & CEO of Family & Children’s Place (FCP), took to the airwaves on WHAS11’s Great Day Live with a clear and urgent message: protecting children is a responsibility we all share and the time to act is now.
During her powerful interview, Fox set the tone for April by highlighting both the reality of child abuse and the hope that exists through prevention, intervention, and community support. She emphasized that while the statistics can be overwhelming, the solutions begin with awareness, education, and a united commitment to safeguarding every child.
At the heart of her message was an invitation one that extends to every member of our community to be part of the solution.
Rally to End Child Abuse: A Call to Action
Elea Fox spotlighted FCP’s upcoming event, the Rally to End Child Abuse, taking place on April 2 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. This powerful gathering will serve as a visible, collective stand against child abuse and a moment to honor the resilience of children and families served through FCP’s programs.
The rally is more than an event it’s a movement. It’s an opportunity for advocates, partners, and community members to come together, raise their voices, and demonstrate that Louisville stands firmly on the side of its children.
A Month of Meaning, A Mission That Never Stops
Throughout the interview, Fox underscored that while April shines a spotlight on prevention, the work of Family & Children’s Place continues every single day. From forensic interviews at the Child Advocacy Center to school-based services and family support programs, FCP remains committed to breaking cycles of abuse and building pathways toward healing.
Her appearance on Great Day Live was not just informational it was a call to action. A reminder that prevention is possible when communities come together with intention, compassion, and courage.
