It serves over 1,000 children annually across multiple parishes through a collaborative, community-wide approach involving partnerships with local and national organizations. The core programs include the Children's Advocacy Center, which provides a safe environment and coordinates multidisciplinary responses during abuse investigations; Court Appointed Special Advocates, where trained volunteers advocate for children's best interests in the judicial system; and licensed trauma-focused therapy offering evidence-based treatments tailored to each child's needs. The organization emphasizes volunteer engagement and encourages community involvement through donations, awareness campaigns, and events. It also provides resources for reporting abuse and supporting children's well-being, aiming to empower children toward safe, permanent homes.
