In its first 10 years, the Northern Michigan Children’s Assessment Center has supported over 3,400 children and families across six counties, providing free assistance to victims of child sexual abuse and neglect. As the need continues to grow, your financial support will help us expand our staff and facilities, ensuring that vulnerable children feel empowered and supported on their path to recovery. Your contribution will be key to ensuring these children are not left to suffer in silence, reminding them that there are caring individuals who believe in their resilience. Currently, the Northern Michigan Children’s Assessment Center has two full-time therapists and two forensic interviewers, but only limited space with two therapy rooms and one interview room. Staff share office space, which compromises privacy. The addition of a second forensic interview room will help reduce wait times and expand mental health services. The Roscommon County Commissioners have generously donated a former juvenile center, which is being transformed into a trauma center, increasing our facility size from 3,713 to 13,466 square feet. This expansion will allow NMCAC to serve the growing demand for services and provide private offices for staff, ensuring confidential meetings with children and families.
