Across the city of Graham in the month of April, blue ribbons can be found adorning trees, not for decoration, but to raise awareness for an important cause. April marks Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month, a cause locally led by many organizations. Virginia’s House, in Young County, and Dr. Goodall’s House, in Stephens County, work each April to raise awareness in the community. The two organizations meet the needs of abused, neglected and traumatized children through programs of prevention, advocacy and support.
