The resolution acknowledges the significant public health issue of child abuse and neglect, highlighting the critical work being done to address this problem. In 2022, children's advocacy centers across the nation served approximately 390,000 children, with 30 centers in Arkansas assisting around 10,300 child victims of various forms of maltreatment, including neglect, physical abuse, and sexual exploitation. The resolution emphasizes the importance of these centers in providing advocacy, support services, and promoting effective responses to child abuse through education and collaboration.

In recognition of the ongoing efforts to combat child abuse and its serious implications for the well-being of children and future generations, the resolution proclaims April 11, 2023, as "Children's Advocacy Center Day" in Arkansas. It calls for the Senate to commend the work of the Children's Advocacy Centers of Arkansas, which plays a vital role in the multidisciplinary response to child abuse. A copy of the resolution will be provided to Ms. Elizabeth Pulley, the Executive Director of the organization, to honor their contributions to this critical public health issue.
