OUTREACH
Community Education & Outreach
At the Regional Child Advocacy Center, we believe that the best way to protect children is through education and awareness. When communities are informed about child abuse — what it looks like, how it happens, and how to respond — children are safer, and families are empowered.
In-Person Education & Presentations
Our staff provides free child abuse education programs throughout Clark, Washington, and Choctaw counties. These presentations are tailored for:
-
Schools and students
-
Community organizations and civic groups
-
Churches and faith-based groups
-
Agencies and professionals working with children
We share valuable information about the services provided by the RCAC, as well as local statistics and facts about child abuse and neglect. Participants learn how to recognize the signs of abuse, how to respond appropriately, and how to report suspected abuse to the proper authorities.
Educational Materials
We offer a wide range of resources available to the public and families we serve, including:
-
Brochures on child abuse prevention and recovery
-
Booklets covering signs, reporting, and treatment
-
Age-appropriate books for children to help them understand boundaries and safety
These materials are available at the CAC and upon request.
Online Outreach via Facebook
We use our Facebook page to extend our outreach and education into the digital space. We share:
-
Helpful parenting tips
-
Child safety facts and awareness messages
-
Prevention strategies
-
RCAC news, events, and updates
This online presence helps us stay connected with the community and provides families with quick, shareable, and reliable information to help keep children safe — right at their fingertips.
Knowledge is Power
Education is one of the most powerful tools in preventing child abuse. Whether through in-person presentations or online posts, our goal is to ensure that every adult in our community knows how to recognize, respond to, and report abuse — and how to protect children from it.
