The Children's Place
Children/Youth
The Children’s Place is a non-profit, private agency modeled after Children’s Advocacy Centers (CAC) around the country. We are fully accredited by the National Children’s Alliance and are a member organization of the Alaska Children’s Alliance. Opened in March of 1999, The Children’s Place is funded by grants, earned revenue, corporate and individual cash and in-kind donations. The goals are to prevent re-traumatization of children, provide families with counseling and other support services during and after the investigation, and hold more offenders accountable. The purpose of the CAC is to provide a child-friendly, neutral facility where professionals from many agencies involved in the evaluation, investigation, and treatment of child abuse meet to coordinate and bring their services to children and families impacted by child abuse.
