Franklin-Williamson Child Advocacy Center

The Franklin-Williamson Child Advocacy Center is dedicated to serving the best interests of children who have been sexually or physically abused. We, at the Center, are their Voice.

April is right around the corner, which means National Child Abuse Prevention Month &mdash; a time to stand together for children and families in our community. Since 1992, the Franklin-Williamson Child Advocacy Center has served nearly 6,000 child victims of abuse by providing safety, support, and hope during some of the hardest moments of their lives. Last fiscal year, our center:💙 Received 218 referrals for children in need💙 Conducted 185 forensic interviews💙 Provided more than 150 free counseling sessions You can help us raise awareness and show your commitment to child abuse prevention by joining our Blue Kids Campaign. With your $100 donation, we will place Blue Kid signage outside your home or business throughout April as a visible sign of support for children and families. Signs will be delivered before April 1st and picked up the week of May 1st. You or your business will also be recognized as a Champion for Children on our Facebook page and website. Together, we can create a community where every child feels safe, supported, and protected.&nbsp;

Ralph was one of our Center&#39;s greatest supporters, an advocate for all children in our community, and also an avid bocce fan. To honor Ralph&rsquo;s memory, the FWCAC is hosting the Ralph Graham Memorial Bocce Tournament on April 24, 2026 at the Herrin Bocce Courts. This is a 16 team round robin tournament. Lunch and soft drinks will be provided. Personal coolers are welcome.&nbsp;

10th Annual Harvest Moon Dinner and Dance

It takes a village to protect a child. When children experience abuse, they need more than one person to help them heal &mdash; they need a community of advocates, counselors, partners, and caring supporters walking alongside them every step of the way. Your gift to Franklin-Williamson Child Advocacy Center helps provide forensic interviews, family advocacy, medical referrals, and trauma-informed counseling services at no cost to the children and families we serve. Whether you give once or choose to give monthly, you become part of the village &mdash; creating safety, support, and hope for children during some of the hardest moments of their lives. Together, we can ensure every child is heard, believed, and protected. Thank you for being the village.
