OUR MISSION
A coordinated response. A safer path forward.
The Pike Regional Child Advocacy Center aims to coordinate a multidisciplinary response to child abuse allegations in a safe environment. We partner with the community to promote awareness, prevention, education, and outreach for a world without abuse.
Child Advocacy Centers were created so children and families would not have to navigate abuse investigations alone. By bringing together advocacy, law enforcement, child welfare, medical professionals, and other community partners, the center helps families get clearer information, coordinated services, and compassionate support.
