National Childhelp Day of Hope is observed annually on the first Wednesday of April in the United States. This day aims to raise awareness about child abuse and neglect. On this holiday, volunteers and advocates engage with members of Congress to educate them about essential legislation that supports victims of child abuse. Participants often take a moment to pray and observe a moment of silence in honor of children suffering from abuse and neglect. The day highlights the ongoing efforts of Childhelp, the oldest and largest non-profit organization dedicated to preventing and treating child abuse.
