The Year In Numbers

Our membership coalition of 12 Children’s Advocacy Centers provided the following services to 7,346 child victims of abuse:

5,825 cases involved sexual abuse

1,108 cases involved physical abuse

22% were age 12 or younger

78.9% reported being victims of sex trafficking

Annually, Massachusetts has 1,800 PSB cases

98% of children and youth with PSBs who receive early and effective interventions don’t reoffend and instead grow into healthy adults.

We trained 38 clinicians in PSB-CBT from six CACs and their mental health partners

We educated more than 2,500 multidisciplinary professionals and community members on PSB and the services available.
