Do you want to help with Christmas but can’t do a whole family? We would love for you to donate pre-packed stockings, stocking stuffers, new toys, new clothing, toiletries (fun toiletries for teens are always a hit), local gas and grocery gift cards for caregivers.

All donations made in Cannon County go directly to local families. We truly appreciate all donations made this time of year as they go to the families we serve who have been victimized by s*x abuse or drugs.

What is Darkness to Light?
Child s*xual abuse training for adults! Learn how to prevent, recognize, stop, and report child s*x abuse.

Why Darkness to Light?
One in 10 will be s*xually abused before they turn 18. Children are most often abused by older children and adults who are known and trusted by the family. We teach simple ways to help protect children at home and within organizations. We can also help set up safety plans for your youth-serving organization! Our goal is to end child s*x abuse in our communities.

Is it hard to schedule?
Not at all! We can schedule any group at any time, even virtually! Reach out today to get booked. Julie Williams, [email protected].

Every adult in Tennessee is a MANDATED reporter. Call 1-877-237-0004 to report abuse.

Join us for the Magic of Christmas!

The holidays are a magical time of year for children and families. Sadly, for many of the families served by the Child Advocacy Center, the joy of the season is overshadowed by the emotional and financial toll of child abuse.

If your family, business, church, or civic organization is looking for a way to help others this holiday season, please consider becoming a Secret Santa to a needy family. It will warm your heart and enrich your holidays in ways you cannot imagine.

Become a Secret Santa to a needy family. The CAC will provide you with the family’s wish list and you shop for Christmas gifts and provide gift cards for food.

All gifts provided in Cannon County go to local families.

Contact Amanda Hammond at [email protected] or call 615-563-9915 to get connected!

When a child engages in problematic s*xual behavior (PSB), how we respond matters.

Children with PSB are not “perpetrators.” They are children who need a specialized approach to treatment. In our latest Ask the Institute blog, we break down what PSB is, science-backed treatment options, and important differences between PSB-CBT™ and TF-CBT for trauma-related PSB.

Halloween is an excellent time to talk to the kids in your life about safety!

Before the festivities, say: “You can always come to me if something doesn’t feel right. You won’t be in trouble for telling me, and we’ll figure out what to do together.”

If you need more information on talking to your children about boundaries and safety reach out today to schedule a FREE Darkness to Light Training!
