April is Child Abuse Prevention Month- a time to raise awareness, support survivors, and remind every child in Arkansas that they are not alone.

We are so incredibly thankful for the wonderful staff at the Hamilton Center for Child Advocacy and for our amazing village.

We have been working with a little boy who has been through more than any child should ever have to endure in his short life. He has been carrying so much trauma, and when everything became too overwhelming, he went acute and had to be placed in a hospital nearly two hours away. His parents don’t have a car, and when he arrived, he only had the clothes on his back.

His Advocate immediately ordered him some clothes from Target, and our wonderful friends at HCCA picked them up and delivered them for him. His advocate, someone he is very attached to, was also added to his call list so she could stay connected with him while he was there.

This work can be incredibly hard, but moments like this remind us that we are not doing it alone. We are surrounded by people who care deeply about the children we serve, and that support means everything.

I would also like to thank Trinity from the Texarkana Children’s Advocacy Center for allowing us to spend the day observing her as she presented the Monique Burr Body Safety Curriculum to an elementary school in Texarkana. It was such a valuable experience. We have been asked to present the same curriculum to students in Mena, and now we feel prepared. Education is one more way to protect children.

It truly takes a village to do this work, and we are so blessed with a wonderful one. 💙

We are so thankful for the difference they make every day. 💙

📣 Save the Date! ⛳

Our tournament has grown so much over the years that we are excited to announce it will now be a two-day event! The tournament will be held the morning of June 19th and June 20th, and players can choose which day they would like to play.

This year will also be a 4-person scramble, so start thinking about your team! More details, registration information, and sponsorship opportunities will be shared soon, but for now be sure to mark your calendar.

We can’t wait to see everyone out on the course supporting our mission of providing Hope, Healing, and a Safe Space for vulnerable children in our community. 💙

So thankful! ❤️

In light of the many incredible nonprofits in our community, this is truly a huge honor. I am blessed with an amazing team of hardworking individuals who have devoted their lives to helping vulnerable children, and we couldn’t do it without the support of our wonderful community. Thank you for helping us provide Hope, Healing, and a Safe Space for Children.

On behalf of CACs across Arkansas, we are incredibly grateful for the support we received in 2025 from our amazing community partners and for the Arkansas Community Assistance Grant award. While we are deeply thankful for this funding and it will help sustain our work in the short term, it is important to note that the award replaces less than one-third of the TANF funding that was lost.
As we look ahead, continued investment is critical to sustaining our network long-term and ensuring every child and family has access to a CAC when it matters most, without exception. 💙

Help Us Make Christmas Brighter for Foster Children & Children Served Through our Safety Center❤️
For many children, Christmas morning is filled with joy, laughter, and family traditions. But for children who have endured abuse, neglect, or trauma, the holidays can bring heavy emotions - reminders of instability, loss, and uncertainty.
At the Ouachita Children’s Coalition, together with The CALL, we work to ensure every child we serve feels seen, valued, and loved. From foster children settling into new homes, to little ones healing in our Child Safety Center, we do everything we can to bring comfort, hope, and Christmas magic into their lives. There are several meaningful ways you can help brighten a child’s holiday this year:
🎄 Individuals or families willing to sponsor a child’s Christmas wish list
🎁 Donate small toys, comfort items, snacks, or stocking stuffers
💌 Provide gift cards - especially appreciated by our teens
Your generosity truly makes a difference and helps ensure every child feels seen, valued and loved this Christmas.
If you would like to sponsor a child’s wish list or donate, please email [email protected] or call/text 479-234-8566.
