in Philadelphia, providing step-by-step individualized care to survivors
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

with children and youth.

All of PCA's services are provided at no cost to children and families.

 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.
