It’s Really about the Kids. Help Us. Help Them.
There are three million reports of suspected child abuse or neglect in the United States every year. One in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused before age 18. In Northern Kentucky, this means 25,000 children could be affected by this horrific crime and need support from Northern Kentucky Children’s Advocacy Center (NKCAC), the only center of its kind in the region.
The Northern Kentucky Children's Advocacy Center offers services that respond to the concerns of child abuse in a child-focused environment, offering prevention, evaluation and treatment to children and families.
Reporting abuse is one of the most important steps you can take to protect children. If you believe a child is being abused or neglected, you must call the Child Protection Hot Line or your local police department. If the child is in immediate danger, CALL 911.
Chuy's selects NKCAC as local charity partner
Chuy’s, a Tex-Mex style restaurant, which opened in Florence, Ky., on Nov. 6, has selected Northern Kentucky Children’s Advocacy Center as its local charity partner. “The Children’s Advocacy Center is down the street from our new location on Houston Road, but more important, their support of children and families is integral to the northern Kentucky community,” said Rocky Sheehan, General Manager of Chuy’s Florence. “We greatly respect their mission and are pleased to provide support to their many family-centered programs.” For more information about the partnership, click here and here.
