Exchange Club-Carl Perkins Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse

24-hour Child Abuse Crisis Hotline:
1-800-273-4747

A Child Advocacy Center is designed to be a safe, child-friendly environment where children, who have been the victims of physical or sexual abuse, can talk about the trauma they have experienced and begin the healing process. Law enforcement officials, the District Attorney’s Office, Juvenile Court, the Department of Children’s Services and other agencies who are involved in the investigation, prosecution and treatment of child abuse cases all come together as a cohesive unit to work for the child’s best interests. The first thing you will notice about our Advocacy Centers is how much they look like homes instead of office or clinical settings. This is done so that the child does not feel threatened by his or her surroundings; thus, the focus can be on the healing process rather than the unfamiliar environment. The Advocacy Center allows each child’s needs to remain the focal point of the process, rather than transporting the child from agency to agency for the grueling process of discovery, medical exams and treatment.

Halloween is all about fun, costumes, and of course, candy! But it’s also a great time to remind children who their safe adults are and who they can turn to if they ever feel uncomfortable or need help. 💙

Take a few minutes this Halloween week to talk with your child about their trusted adults and how to stay safe while enjoying the festivities.

We’ve put together some helpful Halloween safety tips to help families have a fun and safe Halloween! 🎃👇

🎃 Trick or treat yourself to… a little more family time!

The best fall memories sometimes are as simple as a family game night, a walk outside, a movie together, or putting the phones away and just enjoying each other's company!

This season, make time for the moments your kids will remember. What's on your family’s fall “treat” list? 👇

The holidays are just around the corner, and for many of the families we serve, a little extra support can make a big difference. 💙

We’re collecting donations of canned and non-perishable foods, diapers, toiletries, and other everyday essentials to help provide support to children and families throughout the holiday season and beyond.

These may seem like small things, but they can help ease a little stress and remind a family that their community cares. If you’re able to give, we’d be grateful for your support!

Want to help? Bring your donations to your local Carl Perkins Center. Together, we can make sure families have the support they need this holiday season.

Behind every testimonial is a reminder of why this work matters. Every child deserves to feel safe, heard, and supported.
