We are dedicated to serving the child survivors & families of child abuse in Genesee and Shiawassee
(46)
Voices for Children is a merged 501 (c) (3) organization that brought together two well-established and highly respected child welfare agencies in Genesee County: the Consortium on Child Abuse and Neglect (C/CAN), and the Child Advocacy Center (CAC). C/CAN was established in 1974 to advocate against child abuse and neglect. During the last thirty-five years C/CAN has established a variety of educa
tion and prevention programs for the community to help change the child welfare system and prevent abuse. The Child Advocacy Center was established to provide a place for children to tell their stories in a safe, friendly environment, with a single adult who can compassionately listen, examine, and ask the necessary questions.

Safe Sleep is incredibly important for the safety of your baby, but why is that? A Michigan baby passes away every 2-3 days due to unsafe sleep conditions. Following Safe Sleep recommendations can help prevent these deaths, and it is as easy as A-B-C. Babies should be placed to sleep ALONE, on their BACK, in a CRIB or bassinet/pack-n-play. This means no pillows, blankets, stuffed animals, bumper pads, toys, and make sure to use a fitted sheet on a firm mattress. Visit michigan.gov/safesleep for more tips and to find resources in your county.
We hope you are able to start your week with some self-care and mindfulness. Just follow in Deputy Daphne's paw prints and practice re-centering and relaxing throughout this week to prevent burnout ❤

July 10th-July 17th is National Forensic Interviewers Week & we want to give a BIG thank you to our Forensic Interviewing Team for their hard work and dedication to making sure a child's story is heard ❤
Forensic interviewers are vital to children who have experienced abuse, neglect, or human trafficking and here is why:
- They gather accurate information: Forensic interviews are designed to get accurate and detailed information from survivors, which is crucial for investigations.
- They identify missing information: By creating a comfortable environment, forensic interviewers can discover important details or new suspects that were missing from the initial report and may have otherwise remained hidden.
- They preserve evidence: By conducting interviews promptly, evidence is captured while it is still fresh.
- They protect vulnerable populations: Forensic interviews provide a safe and supportive environment where survivors can disclose their experiences without fear.
- They minimize retraumatization: Forensic interviewers are trained to prioritize the well-being of the survivors in a sensitive and compassionate manner.
- They support prosecutions: Forensic interviews serve as crucial evidence, these interviews can help build a case against the perpetrators which increases the likelihood of successful prosecution.
Thank you to our Forensic Interviewers for your part in protecting children who have had to endure the unimaginable, you are so important to the work we do on a daily basis ❤
Children in Genesee County need your help!

We know Monday's are rough for many people, make sure you are checking in with yourself throughout the day!
Try to be aware about the way you are feeling mentally, emotionally, and spiritually; if you notice you are feeling stressed, exhausted, or overwhelmed. Be sure to show yourself some grace, practice some self-care and remember: you are doing great! ❤
One of the easiest but most important ways to keep your baby safe is through practicing safe sleep! Safe sleep reduces the risk of sleep-related deaths, which is far too common. Make sure baby is sleeping Alone, on their Back, and in a Crib every time they go down for a nap or for bed. Keep those kiddos safe! ❤

Happy Friday! We hope that you are able to relax and unwind this weekend, kind of like Deputy Daphne here ❤🐾
This is a reminder to everyone to remember to take breaks when you need them! Your mental health is incredibly important, so make it a priority ❤
Yesterday during our lunch, our Flint staff came together to do a little bit of tie-dying. Activities like this are small but important ways to take a break and reset our minds, even if it's only for a couple minutes.
We want to give a huge thank you to Bethlehem Temple for your generous donation to Voices for Children that will directly benefit the children we serve daily! We are so thankful that we have friends like you in our community that make a positive impact on children's lives. Thank you again! ❤
There was a lot of work being done to the outside of our center the past few weeks. We are so grateful to be able to create a beautiful, relaxing, and comfortable area for the children to have while they are in therapy sessions, for caregivers to take a break in if they get overwhelmed, and even for our staff (and Daphne, of course) to enjoy!
We are in full swing for the summer season and we couldn't be happier about it. Thank you to everyone who helped make our center look so amazing!
Safe sleep is very important and very easy!
An easy way to remember the guidelines for safe sleep is A-B-C. Baby should be ALONE, on their BACK, and in a CRIB ❤ Practicing safe sleep with your baby reduces the risk of sleep-related death so be sure to remember your ABC's next time you put a baby down for bed!
Flint Pride is tomorrow!
Keep an eye out for our table and come say hello! We will be attending as a way to spread awareness about our mission and to share information with our community.
There will be good food, good music, and good times had tomorrow so we hope you are able to stop by Riverbank Park between 2-8pm 🌈❤

Minority communities face unique stressors that impact their health over their lifetime. Gender & attractional minority youth face adversity like; unsafe school environments, bullying, victimization, stigma & discrimination, & family rejection. This adversity puts queer youth more at risk for violence, homelessness, substance use, STDs, depression, and suicide. These health disparities are compounded for queer youth of color and femmes. BUT there are things that protect queer youth from negative health outcomes: these are called resilience factors: community connectedness, pride / self-esteem, and family acceptance. These things save queer kids' lives! Highly accepted queer youth are 8 times LESS likely to commit suicide! Voices for Children offers training on queer youth advocacy - a 101-level look at intersectional queer identities and resilience, available to anyone, and Clinical Considerations for transgender and nonbinary youth, available for providers. Learn more on our website or book a training today: https://voicesforcac.org/training See more on the family acceptance by visiting the Family Acceptance Project's website. https://familyproject.sfsu.edu/ #voicesforcac #Voicesforchildren #childabuseprevention #childadvocacy #protectqueeryouth #pride #pridemonth #Flint #FlintPride
