Children's Advocacy Center (click for more info)

The Children's Advocacy Center leads the local effort in supporting suspected victims of child sexual abuse, as well as providing community education to prevent such assaults.

Talking about child sexual abuse is emotionally challenging ... but what's even harder is ignoring the facts.

One in ten children will be sexually abused before they turn 18.

If a child tells you they've been abused... it's crucial that you carefully listen, believe them, and report it to police or CPS.
