MOUNT MORRIS, N.Y., March 25, 2026 — In recognition of National Child Abuse Prevention Month this April, the Livingston County Department of Social Services (DSS) will host the Pinwheels for Prevention Fair on Friday, April 10, 2026.

The pinwheel is the national symbol of the prevention movement representing the carefree joyful childhood every young person deserves.
“The staff at the Department of Social Services along with our community partners are truly invested in prevention efforts in our community,” said County DSS Commissioner Tracy McCaughey. “Prevention starts with awareness but succeeds with action. We encourage community members to join us and learn more about available local programming and resources.”
