Children’s Advocacy Centers (that's us!) use a child-friendly interview process so children don’t have to tell and relive their story over and over again.

Our interviewer is highly trained, incredibly patient, and deeply skilled at helping children feel safe, comfortable and heard.

Child abuse often happens at the hands of someone a child knows and trusts.
That’s why our children’s advocacy center exists: to provide a safe, neutral place for children to share their stories and begin healing.

We’re jumping on this trend because even in serious work, there’s room for joy. 💛

Behind the scenes at our center, it’s always about connection, compassion, and showing up for our kids.

🎉💙 WOW! The Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament has once again shown its extraordinary generosity, granting $2 MILLION to organizations serving eastern North Carolina, including us!

Along with our Carteret County Children's Advocacy Center, we received $7,500 to upgrade critical technology, helping us provide quicker, safer, and more trauma-informed care to children impacted by abuse.

We are deeply grateful and honored to be part of this amazing giving tradition.

Thank you, Big Rock Foundation! You are changing lives! 🙌💛

🎃 5 Halloween Safety Tips for a Fun & Safe Night!

Stay Visible!
Use reflective tape, flashlights or glow sticks so drivers can see you after dark. 💡

Plan a Safe Route.
Stick to well-lit areas, sidewalks, and always use crosswalks.🚸

Check Costumes.
Ensure costumes fit well, avoid long hems that can trip you up, and opt for face paint over masks for improved visibility. 🧙♀️

Inspect Treats.
Wait until you’re home to eat candy and check for any wrappers that look unusual or opened. 🍬

Stay Together.
Trick-or-treat in groups or with a trusted adult. 👻

Have fun, stay safe, and enjoy all the spooky sweetness this Halloween! 🎃💛
