When you sign up to be an Edger, you repel five stories at the Stadium Park Plaza and this year is it’s on Sept 11, 2021. In doing this, you support the brave victims of child sexual abuse and exploitation. All services provided by the Center are offered free of charge. This year the Center has served over 838 children.
Barren River Child Advocacy Center (BRACAC) serves a 10-county region, providing services to child sexual abuse victims by offering a safe, child-friendly location where professionals work together to pursue justice and offer treatment.
The Center works with community partners to hold offenders accountable for crimes against children.
Trained forensic interviewers conduct recorded interviews with child victims so they are not forced to repeat traumatic experiences multiple times in several different interview settings.
Volunteer physicians conduct forensic medical exams, as needed, and mental health clinicians provide treatment for those who have endured the trauma of child sexual abuse and exploitation.
