In recognition of Crime Victims' Rights Week and Child Abuse Prevention Month, the DeKalb County District Attorney's Office has made a visual statement with the installation of a pinwheel garden at the DeKalb County Courthouse. DA Sherry Boston, alongside her office's SECAC Unit and Victim Advocates, spearheaded the effort to symbolically represent the 170,000 children living in DeKalb County with an equal number of spinning pinwheels.

The office aimed to draw attention to the resources available for families not only in Georgia but throughout the metro Atlanta area. Strategically located billboards and posters, along with neighborhood signs and pinwheels, are part of the campaign to raise awareness and to float out crucial information to those in need. As detailed on the DeKalb DA's website, this initiative also promotes the use of FindHelpGA.org, a website designed to swiftly connect people with various services ranging from financial aid to job training.

Funding for this public awareness campaign was sourced from a subgrant earmarked for National Crime Victims' Rights Week Community Awareness Projects, administered by the National Association of VOCA Assistance Administrators (NAVAA). This financial injection has enabled the DA's office to more effectively spread their message across the county.

The multi-faceted campaign encompasses one static billboard, two digital billboards, and several posters at bus shelters. These visual aids are located strategically across DeKalb County to make sure to plant the message into the minds of residents. The initiative, which also features the distribution of yard signs and more pinwheels in residential areas, ultimately seeks to guide the public towards FindHelpGA.org for accessible support and practical assistance.
