Our Mission

To create a safe and nurturing space for children affected by abuse and neglect, where they share their stories, heal, and thrive with comprehensive support.

 

Our Vision

We dream of a community where children are free from harm and can flourish in an environment that promotes healthy development and emotional well being.

Child Protection Team

The program partners with the Florida Department of Children and Families, law enforcement, and the State Attorney’s Office to provide a coordinated, comprehensive response to child abuse and neglect.

Family Alliance

The Family Alliance Program offers trauma-focused therapy for children and families affected by abuse, neglect, or violence. Support is also available for adult survivors and non-offending caregivers.

 

Family Advocacy

This program supports families impacted by abuse with advocacy services, helping coordinate care, remove barriers, and guide them through investigations, court, and treatment.

 

Prevention Services

The Children’s Advocacy Center offers prevention services through parenting support, youth programs, and a partnership with the Resiliency Hub to educate and empower families.

 

Community Outreach

The Children's Advocacy Center provides community education on abuse prevention, recognition, while actively participating in public and private events to raise awareness.
