of child sex abuse and their families.
Alongside our research-based direct services, PCA leads an innovative Prevention program,
designed to create shared community responsibility and provide information
about child sexual abused to caregivers and other adults who engage
with children and youth.
All of PCA's services are provided at no cost to children and families.

Our corporate and individual sponsors are our true partners,
united with us to bring healing, justice, and joy to victims and their families.
We hope we can count on you to join us this year for a celebration

The Meaning of The Bear Affair
We call this event the Bear Affair to honor a child's first visit to PCA and the
first big step in their healing journey.
Every child who comes through PCA receives a brand new stuffed animal
to bring them comfort and joy during a difficult time.
Bear Affair guests are invited to bring a new plush to the event,
which will end up in the arms of a survivor.
