Pinwheels for Prevention
Members of the 81st Medical Operations Squadron Mental Health Flight place pinwheels in front of Keesler Medical Center April 16. Each pinwheel in the display represents one of the nearly 1,300 children who were substantiated for abuse or neglect in Harrison and Jackson counties in 2012. Since 2007, the Keesler Family Advocacy Program has used ‘Pinwheels for Prevention’ every April as part of Child Prevention Month to remind the base population that the prevention of child abuse and neglect is everyone’s responsibility.
