Our Mission:
Within OUR House, individuals of any age who have faced sexual abuse or other violent crimes are welcomed into a secure and comforting space. Our team of trauma-informed professionals ensures a supportive and child-friendly environment where those impacted can openly address their experiences. We offer free access to timely investigations and ongoing advocacy services to assist individuals affected by violence and abuse.
We are making a difference
one child at a time.
The Vermont Children’s Alliance is a non-profit network of children’s advocacy centers, all of which are committed to working together to improve the way Vermont supports and responds to victims of child abuse and child sexual abuse. Our member programs can be found throughout Vermont and currently serve abused children and their families in almost every single county.
Would you believe that annually over 1,200 new cases of child abuse are helped by Children’s Advocacy Centers in Vermont?
Research tells us that 1 out of 4 girls and 1 out of 6 boys will be sexually abused before their 18th birthdays; 98% of children abused in our state of Vermont know their perpetrator.
