Welcome to Children’s Response Center

Each child should be allowed to recover from their experience within a supportive and nurturing atmosphere. Children's Response Center (CRC) is an agency which provides services to children and youth that are under the age of eighteen who have been victims of sexual abuse; physical abuse; or some other traumatic event. CRC also offers special services to non-offending family members and children who demonstrate problem sexual behaviors.

A key component of our trauma-based model is to help children gain back self-confidence and build emotional well-being through developing positive coping mechanisms as they support their families throughout the recovery/healing process.
