Children's Advocacy Center of Charlotte

Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all.

For children who have experienced trauma, healing can look like building trust, learning to express emotions, and feeling safe again.

This Mental Health Month, we’re highlighting the importance of trauma-informed care and compassionate support.

If your family needs support, help is available.

Reaching out is a strong and important first step.

Visit ChatCollaborative.org to find hope and healing that fits your child’s needs.

Come sit with us!

We’re looking for passionate community members to serve as table hosts for our Everyday Heroes Philanthropy Luncheon benefiting Pat’s Place Child Advocacy Center.

Your presence creates hope.

As a table host, you’ll play an important role in bringing others together to learn about our mission and help raise critical support for children and families in our community.

Join us for this inspiring event featuring keynote speaker Chan Hellman, Ph.D., a nationally recognized expert on the science of hope and its power to help individuals overcome trauma and thrive.

April 28 | 11:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m.

💙 April is Child Abuse Prevention Month 💙

Every child deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported—and the truth is, everyone has the power to make that happen.

Whether you are a parent, teacher, coach, neighbor, family member, or friend—you have the power to be a hero in the life of a child.

You don’t need a cape to be a hero.

A kind word.
A listening ear.
A moment of patience.
A willingness to speak up.

These small actions can change a child’s story.

This month, we invite you to stand with us in creating a community where children are protected, believed, and empowered to heal.

Because everyone can be a hero in the life of a child.
