Sexual abuse has enormous costs. Individuals and organizations cannot afford to ignore it, as children and families are hurt, reputations of organizations can be destroyed, and insurance settlements are astronomical.
Last year The Children’s Advocacy Center of Portage County served 173 children. In the last 5 years alone the Center served 864 children. Nearly all of these children live in Portage County.
