I got to spend this last weekend with other passionate social workers for our board retreat - social workers whose hearts and minds are enacting change in this state every day. Thank you for making me laugh until I cried (a few times), reminding me all the ways we show up for each other and those we serve in this state, and making me hopeful and excited for our field and what we work towards. And we even got to spend time with - who always has some good wisdom for us. Grateful to be part of this organization and this field.

Real Kids. Real Cases. Real Justice.

Every day, CPC helps child abuse victims tell their story, receive healing care, and see justice served.

But this work is in jeopardy. We could possibly lose a combined $700,000 for our local center—which includes cuts from Arkansas Department of Human Services and The Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funding.

This isn’t about budgets. It’s about protecting children who have been physically or sexually abused.

CPC makes our community safer by being an integral partner in crucial outcomes such as this one: https://bit.ly/4f1OzDi.

Call 501-364-5495 to learn more about how you can contact Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders office & your legislators TODAY. Their decisions will determine whether our center survives this.
