Representatives from Crisis Intervention Services read two proclamations at the Mitchell County Board meeting on April 7 declaring April 2026 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Child Abuse Prevention Month.
Renee Harris, vice president of Crisis Intervention Services, read the Sexual Assault Awareness Month proclamation citing local impact: she said 17 survivors in Mitchell County sought crisis services in the past year. Amber Hicks, a sexual assault advocate serving Floyd, Mitchell and Worth counties, read language emphasizing prevention, survivor support and community coordination. The board adopted resolution 1356-26 proclaiming April 2026 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month by unanimous roll call.
The board then adopted a Child Abuse Prevention Month proclamation that urged investment in prevention, early supports for families, and community partnerships. After the votes, staff and the proclamation guests took a photo with the board.
Both proclamations were welcomed by supervisors and no additional board action (funding or program commitments) accompanied the proclamations.
