CARE House

CARE House is a child-focused, facility-based program that provides a centralized, coordinated response to outcries of abuse.

Children's advocacy centers are child-focused, facility-based programs. Although some aspects of a multidisciplinary approach to child abuse can exist without a neutral facility, a designated facility is fundamental to a children's advocacy center. The location is generally separate from any agency involved in the intervention process It is designed to create a sense of safety and security for the children. Children's advocacy centers emphasize the coordination of investigation and intervention services by bringing together professionals and agencies as a multidisciplinary team to create a child-focused approach to child abuse cases.

Today, we want to express our deepest gratitude to two extraordinary individuals on our team: our dedicated Forensic Interviewers! Their work is at the heart of what we do here at CARE House.

With immense compassion and trauma-informed expertise, they provide a safe, neutral space for children to share their experiences. This crucial first step in a child's healing and justice journey requires incredible sensitivity and skill. They help minimize re-traumatization and ensure every child's voice is heard.

To support children during these sensitive interviews, our team often utilizes calming fidget toys and expressive art materials. These items are vital tools that help children regulate their emotions, communicate non-verbally, and feel a sense of comfort in a challenging situation.

You can directly support their incredible work and provide these essential resources for children! Click the link below to purchase fidget toys and art supplies that will directly benefit the children we serve:

We’re absolutely blown away by the incredible support our community has shown this April for National Child Abuse Prevention Month! A massive thank you to each and every one of you who helped plant pinwheels. And a special shout-out to all the businesses, schools, colleges, police departments, and community partners who graciously opened their grounds to us, allowing us to spread awareness far and wide. Check out the video we’ve put together showcasing all the amazing locations that joined our mission to prevent child abuse and neglect.

Did you know that CARE House served over 1,100 children last year alone? That's 1,100 children in Montgomery County who needed support after experiencing the trauma of abuse or neglect. While this number is significant, it sadly represents only a fraction of the kids who are victimized in our community. CARE House provides critical medical, psychological, legal, and social services to these children, working to heal the wounds of abuse and set them on a path to recovery.

This April, in honor of National Child Abuse Prevention Month, let's move beyond awareness and focus on prevention. Education is key, but we need every member of our community to step up and advocate for the safety and well-being of our children. Join me in supporting CARE House and becoming a voice for those who need us most. We can't achieve our mission of preventing child abuse and neglect without your help.

Please reach out to us if your organization would like to host a training to teach adults practical actions, they can take to reduce instances of child sexual abuse in their organizations, families, and communities. You can contact me, Amy Van Verth, at (513)-410-1239 or vanvertha@childrensdayton.org today to schedule your training.

This April let's spin a brighter future for our children! Blue pinwheels, the national symbol for child abuse prevention, serve as a powerful reminder of the joyful and carefree childhoods we envision for every child. We invite you to join us in April 2025 to actively support children and families, prevent child abuse, and raise crucial awareness by planting a vibrant pinwheel garden at your business. To help cover the cost of these symbolic pinwheels, we're requesting a $25 donation. We have a limited supply remaining, so please reach out soon to secure yours. A huge thank you to all of our incredible pinwheel partners who have already joined us this year – your support is invaluable and deeply appreciated!

Please call me, Amy Van Verth at (513)410-1239 or email me at vanvertha@childrensdayton.org to get your pinwheel garden for this April.
