KNOW & TELL

11/04/2026

A wonderful day yesterday attending the 14th Annual Strengthening Families Summit organized by the NH Children's Trust, and presenting regarding the process of reporting concerns of child abuse or neglect. Thank you to everyone who attended, and to Kelsey Moore from DCYF (NH Department of Health and Human Services) for collaborating on this session!

Every adult in NH shares the responsibility to help keep kids safe—KNOW & TELL® prepares them for that responsibility. For information about full-length KNOW & TELL® training, please visit our website (link in comments). 💙💚

Thank you to Southern New Hampshire University’s Justice Studies Program for hosting a KNOW & TELL® training and bringing together students, faculty, and child protection professionals to learn how to recognize and respond to concerns of child abuse and neglect.

We’re grateful to Justice Studies Department Chair Lisa Speropolous, Ph.D. for helping to make this training possible, and to our incredible co-facilitators—Melissa Oriani, MSW and Amy-Lynn Sullivan, MS from The Child Advocacy Center of Hillsborough County and Catrina Horne, DCYF Supervisor IV, for collaborating and sharing their expertise! 💙

And thank you to all the SNHU students and staff who participated—your curiosity and commitment to learning help build a community where more adults are prepared to protect children.

Why BLUE? 💙
Every October, communities across New Hampshire come together through Blue for Bucks to raise awareness and support local Child Advocacy Centers. Blue is more than a color. It’s a visible reminder that child safety is a community responsibility.

This month, we’ve been going blue for children who deserve to be safe, supported, heard, and believed.

There is still one week left!
Support your local Child Advocacy Center. Help more adults get KNOW & TELL® Educated.

Safe, trusted adults are everywhere. 💙
At school. At the library. At practice. At camp. At church. At after-school programs. In neighborhoods. In our workplaces. In our communities.

Child safety isn’t the responsibility of one person or one profession. It takes all of us.

Ask yourself: Do I know what signs to look for? Do I know how to respond? Do I KNOW when and how to TELL? If not, this is your reminder to register for KNOW & TELL® training (link in comments).

Recently, we asked 55 Laconia Middle School students to identify an adult they consider safe and trusted. 44 of those students identified a teacher. 💙

Teachers are an important part of children’s everyday lives. They see students learn, grow, struggle, celebrate, connect and change—so they may be among the first to notice when something doesn’t seem right. Children are counting on these safe, trusted adults to KNOW the signs of abuse and TELL the appropriate authorities.

Support Blue for Bucks and help more NH adults become KNOW & TELL® Educated.
