It’s not easy being a kid today. The problems they face are complex.
That’s why the Kristen French Child Advocacy Centre exists: to bring kids and families together in a safe and secure environment when they can find support, comfort, and the opportunity to heal from traumatic childhood events. At the Centre, we transform lives by providing a safe and supportive environment where children and youth can speak about their experiences to professionals, and heal from adverse childhood experiences.
We can’t do it alone. We need your help.
As a registered charitable organization, we operate without any core government funding and rely on support from individuals like you, to ensure the Kristen French Child Advocacy Centre remains a safe place to help, heal, and end child abuse in the Niagara region.
