Pinwheels of Possibility: Child Abuse Prevention Month
2026-04-10, 2026-04-17, 2026-04-24 | Flat Iron Mesa Park, 1765 E 8600 S, Sandy, UT, 84093, United States
At the Urban Indian Center of Salt Lake, we believe that when our families are at the center of our community, the possibilities for a healthy, vibrant future are endless. This April, we are proud to partner with Prevent Child Abuse Utah to recognize Child Abuse Prevention Month.
Through the “Pinwheels of Possibility” campaign, we honor the bright futures of our youngest relatives. By providing our families with the tools, resources, and cultural connections they need to thrive, we create a circle of protection around our children.
Join us in fostering a community where every child is safe, loved, and connected to their heritage.
The blue pinwheel is a reminder of the whimsical, joyful childhood every Indigenous child deserves. Let’s work together to make those possibilities a reality.
How to show your support:

Plant a Virtual Pinwheel: Share this post to spread awareness.

Be a Good Relative: Check in on the parents and caregivers in your circle.

Stay Connected: Join our family programs at the Center to strengthen our community bonds.

Autism Acceptance Month
2026-04-12 - 2026-04-15 | UT
April is Autism Acceptance Month, a time to move beyond simple awareness and toward genuine inclusion, appreciation, and support for the autistic community.
Acceptance means recognizing that neurological differences are a natural and valuable part of the human experience. It’s about listening to autistic voices, respecting individual needs, and building a world where everyone—regardless of how their brain is wired—can thrive and belong.
This month, let’s commit to:

Celebrating neurodiversity and the unique perspectives it brings.

Promoting accessibility in our workplaces, schools, and communities.

Advocating for equity and the right for all individuals to live authentically.

Together, we can shift the narrative from “awareness” to action and acceptance.

Our Presence is Prevention
2026-04-15, 2026-04-22, 2026-04-29 | UT
This April, the Urban Indian Center of Salt Lake joins Indigenous communities across the nation to observe Sexual Assault Awareness & Prevention Month.
Our theme this year—“Prevention Starts With Us”—reminds us that while American Indian and Alaska Native communities face disproportionately high rates of violence, our heritage is rooted in strength, respect, and protection. We believe that by reclaiming our traditional values and fostering a culture of consent, we can create a future where every relative is safe.
How You Can Join Us This Month:

Speak Up: Break the silence by sharing resources and participating in community dialogues.

Educate: Visit our resource center to learn more about teaching healthy boundaries to our youth.

Awareness is the first step toward change. Together, our voices matter.

Honor & Remember: National Day of Awareness for MMIP

Today, May 5th, the Urban Indian Center of Salt Lake joins communities across the nation to observe the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons (MMIP).
We pause to honor the lives, legacies, and spirits of our missing and murdered relatives. This is a day for solemn remembrance, but also a call for continued solidarity, advocacy, and action.
Standing in Solidarity
The crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous people impacts our families, our neighbors, and our entire community. We stand together to:

Honor those we have lost and those who are still missing.

Support the families and survivors who carry the weight of these injustices.

Pray for collective healing, strength, and the restoration of safety.

Advocate for the justice and systemic changes necessary to protect our relatives.

Our Commitment
Today and every day, we remain committed to being a space of support and a voice for our community. We remember those who are no longer with us, and we reaffirm our dedication to ensuring that no relative is ever forgotten.

“All of our Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives. Today and every day, we stand in solidarity, support, and prayer for healing and justice.”
