Georgia Center for Child Advocacy...The Motivation Behind the IAAVS Contribution

The Georgia Center for Child Advocacy opened its doors in 1987 to provide services for children ages 17 and younger who reside or were abused in Dekalb or Fulton Counties of the state of Georgia, at no cost to the children or their families. As mentioned in the I Am A Visual Statement (IAAVS) FAQs section the Georgia Center for Child Advocacy conducts forensic interviews and evaluations, therapy, family advocacy services, multidisciplinary team case reviews, presentations and trainings.

When IAAVS realized the staggering numbers of how many children are sexually, psychologically and physically abused, and at the ages in which abuse first occurs we had to reach out to them to see how we can help. We discovered that therapy and other services were desperately needed by the young girls at the center; so we immediately stepped up to the plate and declared that we would help more children get the much needed help that the center provides by sharing a portion of our net profits with this wonderful organization.

To date, the Georgia Center for Child Advocacy has helped over 7,500 children. Visit their site today to see how you can help through donations and volunteer efforts!
