MISSION KIDS CHILD ADVOCACY CENTER OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY

Everyone that you encounter at Mission Kids really care about their work and are dedicated on doing what is best for the families that come in.

Amazing services that are there to assist families who are at some or roughest moments of their lives

Mission Kids is an outstanding, well-run and organized non-profit. This organization genuinely cares for both their staff members and the children and families that they serve every day. The work that Mission Kids does can be difficult; but within such a supportive, trauma-informed, and self-care oriented environment, Mission Kids allows staff members to be well-equipped to take on the work to foster healing, justice, and prevention for the community and the families we serve.

My kids were sexually abused and Mission Kids made it so much worse. They said it would be too hard to prove in court. The abuse included a child being coerced into touching a parents privates. A supervisor yelled at me and told that I shouldn't be calling them when my kids clearly showed signs of sexual abuse. This place is awful. I wish there was another option in the area as they do far more harm than good.
I was also told that in the family courts it is known this place does nothing and is a big farce. They pretend to care but the actions are not there, which causes more abuse for abused kids. They should be shut down.

The dedication to children, among the staff at Mission Kids, is nothing short of inspirational. Montgomery County is fortunate to have these warriors against child abuse in our midst.

Thank you for all you do!!

Mission Kids is full of professionals who are passionate about helping children and families. I am grateful to have this organization on Montgomery County!

I've watched as this organization has helped children and families in one of the most difficult days of their lives. This organization helps children and families to heal after a huge setback. I love to help this organization grow in any way that I can because I believe in their Mission!

Mission Kids Child Advocacy Center is a wonderful non-profit organization in Montgomery County. Not only does Mission Kids provide services to children and their families who have been abused, they also provide free prevention education services for children, teens, and adults. Mission Kids works closely with their community partners to make sure families have ongoing support and that the child and families needs come first. Mission Kids supports families with getting necessary services in place (to include medical and mental health services, advocacy and court accompaniment) to assist families with getting justice and healing.

I work in partnership with Mission Kids CAC and am proud to be affiliated with this agency. Mission Kids staff does their absolute best to support, comfort and connect families in need. I frequently collaborate with their staff and consistently find them open and willing to support with case management needs etc. Most importantly, it is apparent that each and every staff person genuinely has a passion for the work that they do. I am very glad to have such a dedicated and professional CAC in Montgomery County.

Great mission. More community members need to be educated on the services provided

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity of interning at Mission Kids CAC while completing my Masters Degree. Mission Kids is an amazing organization that works to achieve healing and justice for victims of child abuse. I can whole heartedly say that every Mission Kids staff member puts their heart into this job every single day no matter what their role is. This team truly works together for the best interest of the child. Even on the toughest of days, I have seen this staff join together and remember why they do this challenging work. I feel grateful for this opportunity to be a part of Mission Kids and strive to be part of an organization like this one in my professional future.

As a former board member and volunteer since the very early days, I am confident in my ongoing, continued, support of Mission Kids. They are an incredibly upstanding organization doing very important work in our community and beyond.

The work of Mission Kids has transformed the way child abuse cases are investigated, prosecuted, and managed. The focus is 100% on the mental, physical, and spiritual health of the child with a SINGLE interview conducted by a trained specialist in a comfortable, child/teen-friendly environment. This limits the number of times a victim has to re-tell their traumatic abuse story and can quickly move towards a place of hope and healing. Meanwhile, the quality of the interview often results in higher judicial conviction rates, ending the abuse, and delivering justice. I am honored to be a supporter of Mission Kids.

This is an exceptional organization dedicated to helping children and families who have been victimized by abuse. Their mission is the focal point of their daily work and all those who work as a part of Mission Kids provide the support, sensitivity and skilled care that is so important to effectively assisting all those who are traumatized by abuse, especially the youngest members of our communities. The commitment and dedication of all the members Mission Kids team and their strong partnerships key stakeholders in the surrounding Montgomery County community enable Mission Kids to support not only the families in Montgomery County but programming for those across the state, nation and beyond. Shared ideas and passion drive this non-profit to continue mission and make a positive impact.

The remarkable staff at Mission Kids gets it right, every time, every hour of every day, because they have to. The abused children , nearly 600 every year, don’t have the luxury of making an appointment. They arrive , shattered emotionally and sometimes physically , and we are ready 24/7 to hear their stories , find them justice and begin healing. Once in our care, they are forever in our hearts , we are lifetime advocates , their pain, their fear stops here.
Some call us a safety net for abused children . True enough. But I prefer bulletproof vest. Our staff, board members, volunteers and blessed contributors welded together as one, vowing we will do all we can to save every child.
To empower our promises in these challenging economic times, Mission Kids prioritizes planning , efficiency and creativity as we constantly set new goals.
We are honored that across America and across the world we are asked to help create child advocacy centers modeled after ours.
But to me, the true, enduring beauty of MissionKids is that every moment , with every child, we never stop asking, “How can we do more?”

This is a very important and vital non-profit in Montgomery County. Unfortunately it is much needed and a very helpful center for abused children. They only have to go thru the trauma of telling their story once and have a whole lot of compassionate people to help them thru it and get them the help that they need. Too many children have gone without help prior to Mission Kids or worse yet - somehow thought the abuse was their fault. This organization is trying to make everyone aware they are here to help and fight for the children.

I donate stuffed bears/animals to them to give to the children to comfort them a little when they first arrive.

Mission Kids has been an important nonprofit in the community for over 10 Years! They help abused children to regain a part of their childhood that was taken from them. They also help the child's non-offending caregivers put the shattered pieces of their lives back together.

With the purpose of keeping children safe, they now offer Prevention Education programs to children and adults.
