PARK CITY, Utah — As a part of its efforts to bring awareness during Child Abuse Prevention Month, the Peace House will host an event in collaboration with Michele Wiles, Artistic Director of BalletNext, centered on strengthening families.

Attendees will be treated to a presentation as well as a children’s dance class. The event will take place at Park City Community Church on April 15 from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Child Abuse Prevention Month serves as a reminder of the millions of kids affected by child abuse each year in the United States. Child Protective Service agencies received a national estimate of 3.9 million referrals in 2020 alone, and the referrals combined amounted to around 7.1 million affected children.
