We know that for most people child abuse is hard to hear about and hard to talk about. Our staff live that reality every day as they meet families in crisis:

​

• Their preschooler has been physically hurt by a paid caregiver or teacher.

• Their 8-year-old's gymnastic coach inappropriately touched their child or their child witnessed the touching of another teammate.

• Their 15-year-old developed an online relationship with an adult that progressed from sexting to in-person meetups and physical contact with warnings not to tell about their relationship.

• Their 12-year-old confided in a sibling that an uncle had been visiting her bedroom every time she stayed overnight with her father (the custodial parent's ex).
