Family Support Line
Family Support Line’s core mission is to advance the prevention and treatment of child sexual abuse. Our continuum of services helps children and families get the help they need to be safe, heal, break the cycle of abuse, and thrive. We also help ensure that professionals who work with children and families have the support, training, and resources they need to recognize and respond to allegations of abuse, as well as meet the needs of children and families affected by sexual abuse. We run the Delaware County Children’s Advocacy Center (DCCAC), which coordinates the multidisciplinary response in cases of suspected sexual abuse and provides a supportive, child-friendly environment where victims of abuse can talk about their experience and get the support they and their families need. The highly trained clinicians in our Treatment Program offer specialized individual, group, and family therapy for child and adolescent survivors of sexual abuse and their families at no cost to families. Our Abuse Prevention & Education Program empowers children and adults to recognize risky situations, report abuse, and connect with appropriate services. Through our Professional Training Program, professionals working in mental health, child welfare, education, law enforcement, and other disciplines receive in-depth trainings that enhance their ability to protect children, help families heal, and strengthen the community’s response to abuse. We strive to lead with values and beliefs that benefit children and families of all races, ethnicities, abilities, and backgrounds. We work across systems and disciplines to advocate for survivors of childhood sexual abuse in Delaware County communities, throughout Pennsylvania, and across the nation. We care. We listen. We act.
