A heartfelt thank you to Conewago Chapter No. 532, Order of the Eastern Star of New Oxford for the calming boxes you gifted us. (The 2025-2026 OES Kid to Kid Project)đź’–

Each personalized container is filled with comforting sensory items and activities designed to help regulate big emotions and provide moments of calm. These grounding tools offer gentle support during times of stress, anxiety, or overwhelming feelings.

These boxes will bring comfort, reassurance, and a sense of peace when it is truly needed most. We are deeply grateful for the way you support children and families in Adams County.

Every child—including LGBTQ+ children and youth—deserves to feel safe, be heard, and know that support is always available to them. No exceptions.

If you are a caregiver of an LGBTQ+ child or teen, you play an important role in their well-being. Showing up for them, listening without judgment, and creating a space where they feel they can be themselves.

Stay tuned this month as we celebrate and explore our LGBTQ+ caregiver resources: https://kidsagaincac.org/lgbtq-caregiver-resources/

As we honor 20 years of supporting child victims and their families in Adams County, we reflect on both the progress made and the work still ahead.

In 2025, ACCAC supported 244 children—many of whom experienced multiple forms of abuse or trauma, including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, or exposure to violence.

While we empower children to recognize warning signs, prevention starts with adults. It’s our responsibility to support and create safe environments where children can grow without fear.

Your support helps make brighter tomorrows possible. Donate to expanding the Brighter Tomorrows Center today to increase our capacity to serve: https://kidsagaincac.org/brightertomorrows/

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to recognize how early experiences, including adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), can impact a person's mental health and well-being for years to come.

At ACCAC, we understand that trauma doesn’t define a child’s future. With the right support, healing is possible. Through advocacy, education, and trauma-informed care, we help children and families build resilience and find a path forward.

Learning about ACEs is a step in creating safer, more supportive communities for children. Explore resources and learn more about ACEs here: https://kidsagaincac.org/overcoming-the-trauma-of-abuse/

Each year, ACCAC provides services to more than 200 local children impacted by abuse and neglect. But prevention starts with awareness and with you.

Experts say that when just 5% of adults learn how to recognize and prevent child sexual abuse, it creates a “tipping point” that can significantly reduce abuse in a community.

Will you be part of the 5%? Make the commitment to learn how to recognize, prevent, and respond responsibly to protect children in Adams County. Learn more: https://kidsagaincac.org/learn-more/prevention-program/
