Overview
CARE House is our community's advocacy center for child victims of abuse and neglect. The child-friendly environment and multidisciplinary approach are at the heart of our advocacy work on behalf of children. CARE House is a partnership of The Children's Medical Center, Dayton Police Department, Montgomery County Children Services, Montgomery County Prosecutor's Office and Montgomery County Sheriff's Office. These agencies
work together to:

• Implement a prompt, comprehensive, multidisciplinary response to child victims
of abuse and neglect, addressing the needs of the victims and their
non-offending family members

• Hold the offenders accountable for his or her actions

• Provide the child victims and their families with needed services to protect the
child from further harm

The child-friendly environment of the advocacy center helps put children at ease during their visit. The comfortable furnishings, colorful rooms and children's activities gives children a sense that this is a good place…their place.
