Colorado Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline:  1-844-CO-4-KIDS  (1-844-264-5437)

At DCAC we show up for kids every single day.

Our therapists show up and guide children through a healing process, holding space for whatever a child is going through. The forensic interviewers and family advocates on our Rapid Response Team show up for kids every day to stand by children and their families through the evidence gathering and trial process related to the greatest traumas of their lives. Our Community Outreach Team shows up for kids by teaching prevention programming in classrooms and community settings and leading groups and activities on DCAC’s campus. Our board members, volunteers, and donors show up for kids by dedicating their time and resources to further our mission. 

Everyone has their role to play, and so do you. We depend on supporters like you to show up for kids. Donate to DCAC on Colorado Gives Day to show your commitment for kids, and let kids in Denver know that we’re going to be there for them so they can heal, grow, and thrive.

Your Colorado Gives Day donation to Denver Children’s Advocacy Center goes directly to support our work to prevent abuse, strengthen families, and restore childhood.
