What happens when someone doesn't listen when you say no?

Every child deserves to have their boundaries respected. If someone ignores your feelings, makes you uncomfortable, or continues after you've said no, you can ask for help.

Talk to a trusted adult. If the first person doesn't listen, keep reaching out until someone helps you.

Remember: You are never responsible for someone else's decision to ignore your boundaries. Your voice matters, and you deserve to feel safe and respected. 💚

At the Children's Advocacy Center, we believe families deserve support every step of the way. 💙

We provide patients and their families with helpful resources designed to make navigating difficult times a little easier. From client resource folders filled with information about legal assistance, food support, and other community services to our family handbook, which explains the services we offer and what to expect throughout the appointment process, we want families to feel informed, supported, and prepared.

Our goal is to make sure no family has to navigate this journey alone.

Stay tuned as we highlight some of the resources available to the families we serve! 💙
