The Center will provide education, violence prevention services, and crisis intervention to victims of family violence, sexual assault and child abuse. We will seek the support and resources necessary to achieve this mission.

Child Abuse Continues if YOU Don't Report | | |
 It is not your job to investigate or find out if an outcry is true. The law requires you to report any suspected child abuse. It does not require that you are certain that the child is being abused, only to have a reason for suspecting it.
