RESULTS
In 2022, the Just For Kids Child Advocacy Center Has Served 269 Children
Committed to the Safety of Children
One in every 10 children will be a victim of sexual abuse by their 18th birthday. Based on data from the CDC, a conservative estimate for the cost of maltreatment in West Virginia was over $775 Million in 2019.
The Just For Kids Child Advocacy Center exists to change those numbers and lead the fight against the cycle of child abuse through a stronger, more approachable model. And over the past year, we’ve made significant progress by providing forensic interviews, medical exams, and therapy to over 250 children in our community.
