After receiving a grant to help expand the services, a local non-profit aimed at helping abused children is moving forward with the initiative they are using the money for.
The Children's Advocacy Center provides support of all kinds to children who are victims of both physical and sexual abuse. Their executive director, Judy Brucker says a grant is going to allow them to better help the kids they get in their care.
Brucker says this helps them accomplish the goal of adding therapeutic services, in addition to their crisis intervention services. She says this is similar to a program they piloted in Clinton, which was successful.
The CAC therapist has begun to see patients in their three counties. To get more information, contact the CAC at 309-888-5656. You can also find them on Facebook.
