Does a child in your care have an appointment at our Child Advocacy Center?

Before your visit, you can learn more about our Child Advocacy Center and what to expect from your child’s appointment.

If a child in your care has been abused or assaulted and you’re going to the hospital, we’ll be there to hold your hand. Call us anytime.

Services for Children

Children should never experience abuse, assault, or neglect. But we know it happens all too often, even in our own community. At First Light, we want to make sure those children and their families get all the help they need - free of charge.
