Leading the effort against child sexual abuse.

The Children’s Advocacy Center of Kent County has led the local effort to recognize, report, and reduce child sexual abuse since 1993. Along the way, we’ve helped thousands of children with hope and healing as justice is sought.

There are numerous ways to support the Center, such as donating to services, volunteerism, or engaging in a tour. For more information on opportunities for involvement, please visit here.

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.

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.
Inspiring Hope.
The Center offers a variety of support services to help children and their caregivers in their journey to recovery. Learn more.
Empowering Community.
We teach K-4 students age-appropriate tools to protect themselves from sexual abuse, and empower them to report current or past abuse. Learn more.
