Children's Exposure to ViolenceOne important issue related to what we do at the Children's Advocacy Center is children's exposure to violence. Children are exposed to violence in many different ways, both in their homes and out in the community. Violence can have a serious impact on children's well-being, and early identification and prevention are crucial to reducing these negative outcomes. A great resource for information about children's exposure to violence is the Safe Start Center, which is funded by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) through the U.S. Department of Justice. Visit the Safe Start Center's webpage, especially the Resource page for Families and Caregivers, which provides great information about a variety of topics surrounding this issue. Each month in our email newsletter we feature a resource such as this one that we feel will be of special interest to members of our community. Visit our Links page under Miscellaneous Resources for the Public for past resources that we have featured. |

Holiday FundraisingWe would like to thank all those who supported us this year in our holiday fundraising efforts, whether by attending our Holiday Open House or by sending a donation. The holiday season is one of the most important times of the year for fundraising, and we are especially appreciative of all those who have given this year. In addition to the donations generated, our Holiday Open House was both a fun-filled evening and a great opportunity to introduce some new faces to the work being done at the CAC.
We are very grateful to Judy White, for her gracious hospitality in hosting this event at her beautiful home, as well as our staff, board members, and our event planning committee members, who were all instrumental in making our holiday fundraising possible. Click here to see pictures from the event (click on Event Photos, then Holiday Open House 2009). Special thanks to Dana Andreasson with Orange Cat Photo for photography.
