✨ Meet Connie! ✨

We’re excited to welcome Connie, our newest CPS worker, to the CAC and our multidisciplinary team! We’re so glad to have her joining us in supporting children and families. 💙

🎒📸 Connie’s Back-to-School Safety Tip: Before posting that first-day photo, check the background! School signs, uniforms, name tags, bus numbers, addresses, and even location tags can give away personal information.

Share the smile, protect the details. 💙

Did you know? Belle isn't the only support a family gets when they come to the CAC…every family is paired with a family advocate who helps navigate next steps, answers questions, and stays in their corner through the whole process.

No family should have to figure this out alone.

Friday means Belle's Joke of the Week. 🐾
'What kind of dog tells time? A watch dog.'
Belle would like it known she takes her watch-dog duties very seriously, mostly by watching the front door for anyone who might have snacks.

Thanks for having us!! 🤝

We want to thank Lauren Cooper from the and Dawn Blades from Worcester County CPS for coming to our department yesterday. They provided us with training and information on how our agencies can work together to better support our community.

We're thankful to have such great partners here in Worcester County, and we're grateful for their continued support in our efforts to keep Berlin safe for all.

Not sure what a visit to the CAC actually looks like? Here's the short version:

✔️ A warm, child-friendly space — not a police station or courtroom
✔️ A trained forensic interviewer who knows how to listen
✔️ Medical support from our SAFE nurse
✔️ A therapist to help process what happened
✔️ A family advocate in your corner every step of the way

We exist so no child has to tell their story more than once.

Did you know? Kids who grow up hearing that their body belongs to them are more likely to speak up if something feels wrong. It's one sentence, repeated often, that can change everything.

Try it this week: 'Your body belongs to you.' No lecture needed — just say it, and mean it.

🎯Clays for Kids update: first, thank you. Every year, this community shows up bigger for this tournament, and it means everything to the kids we serve.

This year we're also collecting items for our silent auction…gift baskets, gift cards, local experiences, anything that shows off Worcester County. If your business wants in, we'd love to hear from you.

🗓️Sunday, November 8, Synepuxent Rod & Gun Club.
