From KIDS Center’s Executive Director
In 2015, KIDS Center increased the number of children, adults, and families served by 21% over last year. A total of 4,673 individuals were supported as they courageously shared their very personal stories of abuse and sought support to overcome the challenges they faced. Many children and their families engaged in therapy and support groups to heal from their trauma, while others better equipped themselves with child abuse prevention trainings. As a team, our KIDS Center staff and volunteers watched incredible journeys from the darkness of abuse to the brightness of safety and bared witness to the power of resiliency. With the support of a very generous community, we continue to develop effective, proven programs and resources for those who experience trauma. Increased access to therapeutic support groups for parents and children; a prompt, multi-disciplinary response to children and families experiencing violence; and increased engagement with law enforcement in the human trafficking arena all led to better outcomes for families in our community. Each year I’m astounded by the strength and courage of children and parents who pass through our doors. Thank you to our donors, community partners, volunteers, Board of Directors and key stakeholders for your dedication, compassion, financial support and advocacy. Appropriately addressing and ending child abuse is crucial in building a healthy and strong Central Oregon and it is in partnership with you, that we continue to strive toward this end.
Highlights from the year... • 740 individuals were provided family support and advocacy services- vital to lowering stress and promoting engagement with our wonderful community partners; • 100 more children received child abuse medical evaluations this year over last; • 2,350 middle school students learned how to protect themselves with the Public and Permanent Internet Safety training, with the support of Bend Broadband; and • Parents engaged in our new support groups to strengthen their ability to support children who experienced sexual abuse.

With funds raised at Cork & Barrel, we have been able to launch Bridges to Healing support groups for children, siblings and parents working to heal from and move beyond sexual abuse.
