April is Child Abuse Prevention Month.💙
Throughout April, you’ll see blue and pinwheels across our community as symbols of child abuse prevention and the safe, happy childhood every child deserves.

Natchez Children’s Services is proud to serve children and families in Adams, Claiborne, Jefferson, Franklin, and Wilkinson Counties. Pictured here are our staff alongside our incredible MDT partners in each county - including CPS, law enforcement, Youth Court, and the District Attorney’s Office - all working together to protect children and support families right here in our communities.

Child abuse prevention takes all of us working together. We are grateful for the partnerships that help us serve and protect children every day.💙

Thank you Merit Health Natchez!!!!

To recognize Doctors’ Day, we’re honoring our physicians with a $2,000 donation to The Children's Advocacy Center on behalf of our medical staff. This contribution supports children and families in crisis in our community and extends the impact of the care our doctors provide every day.
And to all of the doctors out there, thank you for your commitment and compassion, and dedicating your lives to healing and care. Learn more about this donation, https://shorturl.at/CyCaH

A special day at the Capitol 💙

Yesterday, we had the honor of representing Natchez Children’s Services and advocating for the children and families we serve. Opportunities like this remind us how powerful it is when our community’s voice is heard where it matters most.

We are incredibly grateful for the time, support, and leadership of Representative Angela Cockerham, Senator Jason Barrett, Senator Gary Brumfield, Senator Andy Berry, Senator Albert Butler, and Representative Vince Mangold. Your dedication to our region and commitment to making a difference does not go unnoticed.

Together, we continue working toward a brighter future for every child 💛

Our December newsletter is here, and it’s full of gratitude, celebration, and community love. From our Chili Cook-Off and MDT Appreciation Luncheon to Trunk or Treat, our Christmas Open House, and advocacy work across Mississippi, 2025 was a year that reminded us how powerful it is when a community comes together for children.

Every moment, partnership, and shared smile helps us continue our mission to protect, empower, and advocate for children who need us most. Thank you to our supporters, partners, and friends for walking alongside us every step of the way.
