All services are provided in a nurturing, friendly and safe environment at no cost to a child’s family.

Last year the Carousel Center served almost 500 children when there are concerns of sexual abuse, physical abuse, or who had witnessed a violent crime. The Carousel Center’s family advocates also supported these children’s caregivers by guiding them through the investigative process and connecting them with resources so the children and families could continue to heal.
