The CARES Institute offers help and, more importantly, hope to the thousands of children and families who experience child abuse and neglect each year. But we need your support to continue to provide and develop ground-breaking medical and mental health diagnostic and treatment services for children who have suffered sexual abuse, physical abuse or neglect.

• It costs the CARES Institute approximately $3800 to provide evidence-based mental health therapy for one child.

• The costs for one medical exam for a child total approximately $1100.

You can be a part of the healing process by making a gift to support the Institute's work. Please also consider including the CARES Institute in your will or other estate plan.
