Family & Children's Place

I have been blessed with this nonprofit since 2003 and currently they still assist me in my growth today by telling my story and helping others. The growth of this place is unreal and the amount of care and support they put in for their victims and families makes such a difference. 20 years ago I had to tell my story multiple times to many different people in not the most beautiful space. Today the victims walk into a beautiful facility with amazing art, unreal support and they get to tell their story once. That is a win to me. This nonprofit is why I’m still here today and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I’m truly blessed for the Family and childrens place.

A great mission and a leading voice in the community!

I've been a supporter of and volunteer for Family & Children's Place since 2015. During that time I've been able to shadow or be involved with most of the branches of the organization, and am always blown away by the staff's dedication to their mission. Family and Children's Place is an excellent steward of the funds they raise, and provide a crucial service to the community.

I've been involved with FCP for many years in various capacities and cannot express enough what an amazing organization it is. Their staff is so supportive, and friendly and cares so much for the cause. The work they do in the community is irreplaceable and helps Louisville Metro in ways we didn't even see coming.

As a former fundraiser at F&CP I can say that I have never worked for a more fulfilling mission. It is not until you write about the needs of a nonprofit organization like this learn what you do not know about abuse, trauma, homelessness, and addiction. The staff is kind, knowledgeable, caring and committed. What a wonderful organization. It has made a permanent impression upon my heart.

Terrible treatment of trans victims and workers. Tried to deny a CSA survivor unemployment after an abrupt firing

I worked at the fundraiser at the Galt House and thought it was great. There we a lot of people that shows the community cares. We need to keep these events going to raise money for a much needed cause. I was happy to hep

For a year and a half, I took my foster kids to the Family and Children's Place for weekly or biweekly visits with their birth parents. The staff did a great job of keeping us informed about how things were going and letting us know if anything major happened during the visit. They also worked with us whenever we had concerns about things that happened during visits. The girls always enjoyed seeing the staff and felt safe at the visits.

I work in a company that volunteers time, money, and material goods for this organization. Family & Children First is a great place to help heal from those wounds that touch the mind- those through abuse, neglect or other forms of violence. This place provides a resource when all is dark, and provides a light to follow into health and stability through such rough times.

I'm proud to spend my time and efforts helping these people. If something was to happen so traumatically to me, this is the first place I would go.

We received services from a counselor at Family and Children's Place. Counselor was excellent and communicated with us regularly on progress. She has been caring about my family and we have been very pleased with the level of service we have received.

I've volunteered for this non-profit on many occasions and it's always been a joy filled experience when doing so.

I have volunteered for this organization many times in the past 10 years. Their staff is kind and caring. They do amazing things for hurting families in our community. Their facility is bright and colorful and it allows the children assisted by this organization to receive therapy in a very welcoming atmosphere.

I can't say enough good things about their staff. They are very dedicated and work very hard to improve the situation of the children and families by working through the sadness so many of their families are dealing with. They have made a huge difference in many lives. God Bless them for all they do!

I have worked to support this charity for more than 2 years and continued to be amazed by the work they do with the resources they have. They have helped so many childern and entire families make the transition from being a victim of abuse and domestic violence to being able to cope with what has happend to bring some stability and normalcy back to their lives. I am sp proud to be a part of something so special.

The company I work for has long running ties with this charity, and I have had the priveledge in helping this fantastic organization as a volunteer. The charity is a light in an unfortunately dark world for many children who have experienced difficult times in their lives. Family and children first has many success stories with how they have helped out children who have experienced abuse, neglect and violence. It is great to know that such organizations exist to help less fortunate individuals to have a meaningful life.

F&CP is the most amazing charity! My office has partnered with them for several years (among other charities) at the holidays, and the response for them is always great. The work that they do in the community is invaluable. Through our work with them, I feel like we have created a greater awareness of the need to serve others among our employees-- not just with them, but in general.

Through volunteerism I have witnessed the exceptional loyality and hard laborous work that is involved in going the extra mile to provide for others. Children are silent and do not have a political voice and budget cuts take away many "fun things." I have seen people in this agency work to create an income to replish some of these "fun things" to the children, through their hard work. A smile and a gleeming eye from a child is a sign of hope and love. May the smiles and love continue as you provide special moments for special children year after year.

Family & Children's place has conceptualized a brilliant idea for treating child abuse--a center where all aspects of the diagnosis, treatment, prosecution, and recovery can occur under one roof. This makes it so children have to tell agonizing stories of what happened fewer times. I genuinely hope this organization is able to fundraise enough to make this center a reality that is self-sustaining into the future.

Family and Children's Place is a Louisville non-profit agency that serves families in Kentuckiana that experience abuse, particularly child sexual abuse. This agency is raising the bar for first-response services for children who report sexual abuse in Kentucky! By establishing a world class co-located Child Advocacy Center in Louisville, Kentucky, the agency is putting Kentucky on the map as a leader in the fight against child abuse. There are several essential services under one roof: Family and Children's Place offers forensic interviewing (held to the highest standard and best practice models), medical examinations to treat for injury or infection, and offices for local law enforcement and the Crimes Against Children unit. Having all these offices in one location minimizes the risks that children face when they report abuse. A victim's story can be told once and an immediate response can be made to protect the child and stop the abuse. They also provide ongoing services to families that seek the assistance of Family and Children's Place such as counseling and other services designed to help families heal, stabilize and recover.

This organization has a heart for the future of our children and our community! Keep up the good work!
