Child Safety Center

Child Safety Center Help. Hope. Heal. Because it shouldn't hurt to be a kid. The center has three goals:

1. The child is interviewed by a specially trained forensic interviewer.

Provide a child-friendly, safe, and secure environment for children who may have been sexually or otherwise seriously abused. They are assisted with the interview by State Police, local law enforcement, the Sheriff Office, DHS medical and mental health professionals.

2. Provide whatever needed services or referrals to assist the child and non offending family members in the recovery process

3. Partner with community agencies to promote education, awareness and prevention programs through school-based programs, community events and fundraisers

Have you ever heard of an escape room? It’s a fun challenge where you solve puzzles to break free. But for some kids, there is no escape—it’s their reality.

NoEscapeRoom.org is an interactive video experience by MissingKids.org that puts you in the shoes of a child being manipulated and exploited online. It reveals how predators operate and the terrifying situations children can find themselves in.

This powerful tool raises awareness about online exploitation and equips viewers with knowledge to recognize warning signs and protect children. We encourage you to watch and share it—it could help save a child.”

At the Child Safety Center of White County, collaboration is at the heart of everything we do.

Through Arkansas’ Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) approach, we work closely with our partners to ensure children receive coordinated, compassionate, and trauma-informed care.

Our MDT works as a team. The team is able to share information, reduce duplication, and keep the child’s well-being at the center of every decision.

We are grateful to be part of Arkansas' MDT network and proud of the strong partnerships that allow us to better support children and families. Together, collaboration makes a difference.

🤍 Grateful for the ones who sustain the mission. 🤍

Today, we want to say a huge THANK YOU to those who joined our Sustainer’s Circle by becoming new monthly partners in 2025. Monthly partners are truly the backbone of the Child Safety Center—they faithfully sustain this work each and every month.

Our big dream for 2025 was to welcome 25 new families through our 25 in 25 campaign. Because of this incredible community, 30 new families joined our Healing Hands Community and became part of our Sustainer’s Circle!

Thank you doesn’t feel big enough to express how grateful we are. Your faithfulness is making a daily difference in the lives of children, providing stability, healing, and hope. We are deeply thankful for your belief in this mission and for standing with us to protect, empower, and restore children in our community. 💛

If you’ve been following along with us for any length of time, you’ve likely seen the many handprints on our walls. Each child who comes through our doors is given the opportunity to add their handprint—a small but powerful way to mark their courage and presence.

These handprints serve as a constant reminder of the lives we have touched, and the lives that have touched us, throughout the years. Each one represents a child, a story, and a step toward healing.

Each child that receives a medical exam at the Child Safety Center receives a blanket.

This may seem trivial yet a blanket is more than just fabric. It symbolizes warmth, comfort, protection, and love—a tangible expression of care, belonging, and support.

At its most basic, a blanket offers physical and emotional soothing, like a gentle hug when it’s needed most. It becomes a shield against the cold, representing safety and refuge, and a reminder that no one stands alone. To wrap someone in a blanket is to wrap them in the support of a community—quietly saying, you are seen, you are cared for, and you are safe here.

THANK YOU to all of the students and families of CrossPointe Preparatory for their donation of blankets which we all now know, is actually way more than just blankets.

One drawer full. Another drawer opened.

This is not just a filing cabinet—it’s a cabinet of medical files, each one representing a child who has come through our doors for a forensic medical exam following sexual abuse or assault.

Today, we closed one drawer—completely full. And we opened a new one. A fresh drawer that, over time, will begin to fill with more charts, more names, more stories of children impacted by abuse.

Moments like these are sobering. They are a stark reminder of the ongoing and relentless battle we fight every day to protect and support children. Turning to a new drawer feels like turning a new chapter in that battle—a chapter we wish we never had to write.

Thank you for bearing witness. Thank you for standing with us.

🥐 Grateful for kindness that fuels our team. 💙

We are incredibly thankful to Brandon and Kari Fox and Burrito Day for their generous holiday gift to our CSC staff. Providing homemade cinnamon rolls was such a thoughtful way to lift spirits and support our team during a busy and emotionally demanding season.

This kindness helped fuel our skeleton crew during Christmas week and served as a powerful reminder of the supportive community that surrounds us.

We are so grateful for the many ways our community continues to encourage and care for those who serve children and families every day.

It's important to have a talk with your child about who their safe adults are, even at a very young age.

Children should choose a safe adult that:

1. is older than them and can get them help if they are hurt or unsafe

2. doesn't break safety rules or try to get the child to break safety rules

3. are people that they can easily talk to about things that may be difficult to talk about

4. is someone they trust to keep them safe

5. is a good listener

We want to wish a very happy birthday and 10 year anniversary of being on staff to Caitlin Forcier! In the CAC (Child Advocacy Center) world, it is rare for people to remain in this work long term as this is demanding, emotionally heavy work, and longevity is something worth recognizing—and celebrating!

When several staff members, board members, and partner agencies were asked to share one word that comes to mind when they think of Caitlin, here are just some of the responses:

Trustworthy—someone to confide in; Resilient; Generous; Smart; Thoughtful; A fighter; Compassionate (more than once); Eloquent; Passionate; Fierce—instinctively knows how to appropriately protect her clients; Loyal—her clients and peers are always her priority; Kind; Funny; Genuine; Purposeful—she walks through the world with intention; Relentless; Intentional; Truehearted; Amazing; Dedicated; Refuge; Guardian.

As you can see, Caitlin’s influence has been deeply felt within our CAC and across several partner agencies we work with regularly. She holds many roles—Advocate, Mental Health Therapist, Program Director, Mentor, just to name a few. Her impact has reached the state level as well, where she has helped develop training programs for Child and Family Advocates. She has raised the bar for what advocacy looks like within a CAC in Arkansas—all within just 10 years.

Her knowledge and expertise have also led her to serve as an Expert Witness in court. She has grown into a steady, grounding force among us, and we are a stronger team because of her. She also happens to be an incredible mom, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend.

Caitlin, congratulations on reaching your 10-year anniversary at the CSC! Countless children and families have been helped by your advocacy, professionalism, and relentless pursuit of excellence. Lives have truly been changed because you walked alongside families during some of their most difficult moments. You embody the word Refuge—for families and for our staff.

Thank you for all you have done, and continue to do, to make us better.

Please join us in wishing Caitlin a Happy Birthday, and congratulating her on reaching 10 years of employment!

🛍️ Grateful for a night of purpose, community, and impact. 💙

We want to say a heartfelt thank you to our incredible Pop-Up for Prevention vendors-Amy Williams Interiors, Beyond Color, Buttonwood Boutique, Camferdam Art, and Ivory & Oak-and to every community member who came out to support our very first Pop-Up for Prevention event in November.

Because of you, this meaningful shopping experience raised critical funds for the work of the CSC while also creating greater awareness of the healing and restoration that happens within our walls every day.

We are so grateful for your generosity, creativity, and willingness to stand with children and families in our community. 💛
