๐ŸŽƒ 5 Halloween Safety Tips for a Fun & Safe Night!

Stay Visible!
Use reflective tape, flashlights or glow sticks so drivers can see you after dark. ๐Ÿ’ก

Plan a Safe Route.
Stick to well-lit areas, sidewalks, and always use crosswalks.๐Ÿšธ

Check Costumes.
Ensure costumes fit well, avoid long hems that can trip you up, and opt for face paint over masks for improved visibility. ๐Ÿง™โ™€๏ธ

Inspect Treats.
Wait until youโ€™re home to eat candy and check for any wrappers that look unusual or opened. ๐Ÿฌ

Stay Together.
Trick-or-treat in groups or with a trusted adult. ๐Ÿ‘ป

Have fun, stay safe, and enjoy all the spooky sweetness this Halloween! ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ’›

Sometimes, connection means flexibility. Saying โ€œyesโ€ to small things, like a late-night snack or a spontaneous outing, shows her that you value time together.

Only about 1 in 3 cases of child abuse are ever identified and reported to authorities.

Why donโ€™t children report?
๐Ÿ”น Afraid no one will believe them
๐Ÿ”น Feel ashamed, guilty, or confused
๐Ÿ”น Threatened or scared by the abuser
๐Ÿ”น Care about or trust the abuser
๐Ÿ”น Donโ€™t realize it was abuse

๐Ÿ’ก Most children do not tell and when they do, they often tell someone they trust before ever telling a professional. ๐“๐ก๐š๐ญโ€™๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ฒ ๐ข๐ญโ€™๐ฌ ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐š๐ฅ ๐ญ๐จ ๐›๐ž๐ฅ๐ข๐ž๐ฏ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ฆ, ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ง ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐ก๐จ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฆ๐š๐ค๐ž ๐š ๐ซ๐ž๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ!

๐Ÿ’› Many of the young lives we serve have experienced deep injustices. Our mission is to ensure their healing, amplify their voices, and help break the cycles that have held them back for too long.

๐Ÿ’š This Juneteenth, we recommit ourselves to building a world where every child, regardless of race, background, or circumstance, can grow up safe, loved, and free.

๐ŸŒŠ Scenes from the Seaside Symposium! ๐Ÿš

We hit the road (and the sand!) for the Children's Advocacy Centers of North Carolina Seaside Symposium in Myrtle Beach, and we didnโ€™t just bring sunscreen, we brought our A-game!

The best part? Time to connect with our incredible team from across the state, soak up some sun โ˜€๏ธ, and grow stronger together for the kids we serve.

๐ŸŽ“ Learning + ๐ŸŒด Beach = The best kind of training!
