April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and we invite you to join the Carroll/White County Child Abuse Prevention Council to kick off prevention month with a Mayoral Proclamation and the Carroll/White County State of the Child presented by Indiana Youth Institute.

The Indiana KIDS COUNT Data Book is Indiana Youth Institute's annual snapshot of the most recent information and trends in Hoosier child well-being. Access to reliable, high-quality data and resources empowers and equips leaders, policymakers, youth workers, and advocates with a go-to, trusted source to create positive change for Indiana youth.

This year's Indiana KIDS COUNT® Data Book and IYI County Dashboard reflect the intersectionality of Indiana’s youth demographics. Disaggregated data draws attention to the disproportional and disparate outcomes for historically marginalized youth, such as racial/ethnic minorities, low-income, LGBTQ+ youth, youth with disabilities, and immigrant youth. Intersectionality in the data disaggregation creates a deeper and more nuanced understanding of opportunities and achievement gaps in the lives of Indiana kids.
