Join us for these webinars in April + A training opportunity from D2l
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, a great opportunity to learn more about issues that affect children and what you can do to not only help prevent future cases of child abuse but also support survivors of abuse in all its forms.
This year’s Child Abuse Prevention Month is a little different thanks to COVID-19. But just because we’re practicing social distancing doesn’t mean that we can’t create opportunities to learn more new strategies to help ourselves or find new ways to get involved and help prevent future cases of abuse.
So for April 2020 we are providing you with two different webinars, one geared towards equipping yourselves with the tools and resources you need to reduce anxiety and stay effective in times of insecurity, and one focused on legislative efforts in 2020 and the ways that you can help make a difference from the comfort of your own home.
These webinars are free and open to all, but please keep in mind that registration is limited to the first 100 people, so register for these webinars today using the links in the description below!

Protecting Children During a Crisis has been designed by D2L and will help people determine potential changes that could disrupt your existing daily life, identify some possible scenarios that could require you to modify your existing prevention strategies, and develop personalized strategies to use when potential crisis situations become a reality.

Winter Appeal 2023
To our friends,
2023 has been a long year with many ups and downs for us all. As we close out the year, we at SNAP hope that you are feeling like you are on your way to being healthy, fulfilled, and happy. This past year has brought both successes and challenges. Thanks to the support you have shown in the past, we’ve been able to celebrate the good days and weather the stormy ones. Now, we are once again asking for your support as we work to support survivors new and old as we ‘Move SNAP Forward.’
At SNAP we are proud to have hosted a very well-attended conference in August 2023. This event allowed us to gather friends, survivors, advocates, and allies for a weekend of camaraderie and connection. We were so happy to be able to welcome many first-time attendees to gather in person and are already looking forward to the next conference.
To strengthen our movement for justice, healing, and prevention, SNAP will be expanding our peer support and providing more volunteer opportunities in the coming year. Through this great work, we are ensuring survivor voices are represented as we work for significant change that will benefit children and survivors.
Right now, survivors worldwide are getting the help they need from SNAP, and more and more reach out to us daily, but we need your help to keep those programs going and get our volunteers the training they need to thrive.
Your tax-deductible gift to SNAP can help offset the cost of our important mission. If you are not in a position to contribute, you can still support us by sharing this letter with those who can. As we continue to fight for survivors across the globe, your donation or sharing the great work SNAP does will help us continue our work to protect the vulnerable, heal the wounded, and prevent abuse.
Your donation ensures SNAP will be there for those who need us more than ever!
Warmly,
Michael W. McDonnell, C.P.S.
Interim Executive Director
