Make this holiday season happy, healthy, and safe for all children.

We know the season is not full of cheer for all children. With your support, we can make a difference! Your continued support of our work enables us to make healing possible for children in crisis during the holidays and all year round.

With your donation, we will:

• Promote awareness and prevention of child sexual abuse
• Ensure intervention and services for the nearly 7,500 children served annually
• Provide training professionals need to protect children and help them heal
• Address gaps in services and advocate for resources to help child victims.

We can end child abuse. Together.

This year, while continuing to face the challenges of the ongoing pandemic, MACA continued to pioneer the most promising, leading-edge ways that help victims of child abuse receive the best possible care, with:

• 7,407 child victims of abuse served statewide.
• 16,309 recovery resources provided, including mental health interventions, medical exams, forensic interviews and referrals.
• 613 professionals engaged through trainings on leading-edge therapeutic interventions, intervening with trafficked youth, serving LGBTQIA+ youth, and capacity building.

We also expanded our programs:

• Grew our Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) Service Enhancement Project, giving more victims access to the gold standard of care. MACA convenes a CSEC Leadership Advisory Board composed of agency leaders to strengthen the statewide response to CSEC, and we are working to assess needs and develop best practice standards for responding to youth impacted by commercial sexual exploitation.
• Led statewide awareness and interventions for children showing problematic sexual behavior (PSB). MACA brings experts to Massachusetts to train clinicians and community change teams, and offers an ongoing webinar series about what PSB is and how professionals can better address PSB to assist the children they work with.
• Mobilized effective advocacy at the State House and Capitol Hill to secure critical funding.
• Provided virtual trainings on advanced trauma therapy, clinical treatment for exploited youth, and our 12th Annual Healing, Hope, and Justice Conference, to ensure professionals across the state and region had access to high quality and relevant trainings on how to best serve child abuse victims.

Your donations will help us continue to grow and build a better future for the children who need it most.
