Outraged By Child Abuse

Outraged
by child abuse?

Let’s put an end to it.
The need is great. National studies show that 1 in 10 children will experience sexual abuse or exploitation before age 18. The statistics in our corner of Michigan aren’t much different.

We need your help.

Help us continue critical services during COVID-19

Each day our staff and partners leave their families to respond to another’s family crisis. During this pandemic, or any other crisis, that will not change.

We continue to see all cases for forensic interviews and have not yet seen a reduction in the volume of those cases.

Our individual, evidence-based mental health services and family advocacy services are being offered through Telehealth solutions as well as in person.
