Known as a revolutionary sexual abuse prevention training program, Darkness to Light: Stewards of Children help to educate adults on how to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. The program believes and teaches that child safety is an adult’s job.

Last year, over 850 adults in the Baton Rouge area were trained in Darkness to Light’s Stewards of Children program.

The YMCA has partnered with the Baton Rouge Children’s Advocacy Center, Prevent Child Abuse Louisiana, BREC, and Sexual Trauma Awareness and Response (STAR) to provide Darkness to Light: Stewards of Children trainings in the Baton Rouge area in 2015. For more information on these trainings and the Darkness to Light: Stewards of Children program, please click the D2L 2015 Registration Form.

The Baton Rouge Children’s Advocacy Center is now an Accredited Member of the National Children’s Alliance (NCA). NCA recognizes BRCAC for achieving a level of collaboration and coordinated service delivery that significantly improves the experience and well-being of children who are subject to child abuse intervention.

Congratulations to BRCAC for its hard work and dedication to the safety and protection of children in Louisiana!

The Neighbors Capital Area Foundation is hosting its second Clay for Kids Sporting Clay Tournament benefiting the Baton Rouge Children’s Advocacy Center (BRCAC) on March 7, 2015 at Hunter’s Run Gun Club in Port Allen near the old bridge.  The Neighbors Capital Area Foundation is an initiative by Neighbors Federal Credit Union to provide support for community service organizations in Baton Rouge.  For more information on the 2015 Clays for Kids event and how to register, click the clays for kids brochure 2015.

The BRCAC plays a vital role in our community in the fight against child abuse.  Their mission is to lessen the trauma experienced by child victims when abuse allegations are investigated, and to provide them support during subsequent proceedings within the criminal justice system.

Please come out and support these two wonderful organizations!
