Child
abuse tears at the fabric of every community. Unfortunately,
even Northern Colorado. Here is your chance to make a difference.
Think
again.
We
hear it all the time: “Child abuse doesn't happen in my neighborhood.”
Well, think again.
National
child abuse statistics don't stop at the doorstep of Larimer
County. Statistically, one in three girls and one in six boys
experience some form of child abuse.
A
Helping Hand.
The
Larimer County Child Advocacy Center (LCCAC) offers services
that help children and families affected by child abuse. Our
mission is to reduce the trauma to children during child abuse
investigations. We provide a child-friendly setting for forensic
interviews and the coordination of services while ensuring
children and families receive effective and sensitive support.
Using
a court-approved forensic interviewer, the child's experience
is recorded once. This single interview is critical to the
well being of the child because it reduces the number of times
the story has to be replayed. The information can then be
used in a variety of situations: court proceedings, detail
for the department of human services, police recordings, medical
examiners and counselors.
Astonishing
Numbers
In 2004,
the LCCAC helped 445 children. Alarmingly, these are just a
fraction of the reported cases in Larimer County. Over one in
10 cases goes unreported. For
The Spirit of a Child
No
one understands a child's pain more than another child. The
comfort, compassion and unconditional love between children
is a powerful coping and recovery tool.
The
LCCAC has created The Spirit of a Child campaign
allowing your child to support the “spirit” of an abused child
who visited the LCCAC this past year. Confidentiality is paramount
and the names of the children seen by the LCCAC will remain
unknown. However, the power of you and your child supporting
the spirit of an abused child will be astounding. Your support
will allow for northern Colorado to continue at the forefront
of countering child abuse and building a better community.
More importantly, your contribution will directly influence
the next child through our doors.
