When you give to the Children’s Advocacy Center of Kent County, you’re not just supporting a program.
You’re giving a child a safe space to speak their truth. You’re giving a family hope. You’re helping investigators, and the entire collaborative team at the Center do work that changes lives.
Please consider making a gift today.
Your support matters more than you know.
If a child tells you they’ve been abused, it is critical to listen carefully, stay calm, and never blame the child. Thank the child for telling you, reassure them of your support, and let them know that you believe them.
Immediately following your conversation, it is imperative to file a report.
1 in 4 girls and 1 in 13 boys are sexually abused before their 18th birthday. Starting body safety conversations early on with children can help prevent child abuse and promote healthy relationships. Learn more here.
Building Trust.
We bring together under one roof all the resources a sexually abused child might need, so they don’t have to repeat their story to multiple people in multiple places. Learn more.
