WHO IS SCAN?
MEET MELANIE, AN ALLIES COALITION
MEMBER
There's more than one way to educate the
public about child abuse prevention, and no one
knows that better than Melanie
Dunn-Chadwick. A charter member of
SCAN's Allies in Prevention Coalition,
Melanie works for Fairfax County Public Schools'
FECEP/HeadStart program.
In addition to her outreach via the Coalition
(including distributing resources and
materials to the families and professionals
she works with), Melanie thoughtfully spreads
SCAN's prevention messages in other ways as well.
This month she's helping to plan a special Sunday
at her church, Fairlington United Methodist, to
recognize National Child Abuse Prevention Month
and share the Pause for a Child
message. Melanie is also a member of
SCAN's Circle of Hope, a select group of
individuals who support SCAN by making annual
gifts of $1,000 or
more.
Do you know someone like
Melanie? Are YOU someone like
Melanie? SCAN's Public
Education Program facilitates the Allies in
Prevention Coalition and depends on fantastic
members and volunteers to reach
new families and communities with our
messages.
