Making Kent County a safer place for children.

Preventing child sexual abuse requires the efforts of the entire community. Even if you’re not a parent, even if you don’t work with children, you can still speak out and take a stand against the exploitation of our most vulnerable citizens.

Begin by learning about the issue:

• Child Abuse by the Numbers

• Myths & Facts About Child Sexual Abuse

• Internet Safety

• Recommended Books

The Michigan ACE Initiative

Then take action:

• Get empowered by scheduling a child sexual abuse prevention training for your business or organization.

• Volunteer and/or donate to the Children’s Advocacy Center.
