     2. Assertiveness - The teaching of skills and decision making abilities to children.
     3. Access - Teaching children that there are adults who will help them when they need it.

TransParenting is a four hour educational program about the needs of children during and after the divorce of their parents. Topics include typical reactions of children, skills that help children cope, and visitation issues. The Circuit Judges of Baldwin County require all divorcing parents to complete this program.

Rollercoasters is a program for children whose families are experiencing a divorce, a separation, or remarriage. Children are helped to develop hope and confidence about their futures. Parents can expect their child to learn ways to manage their feelings, process their anger, and develop new coping skills.

Classes are offered to children ages 5-12, in two age groups (5-8 and 9-12). Classes meet weekly for eight weeks. Class size is limited to eight children per class.

Counseling Program - CARE House provides individual, family, and group counseling to child victims of sexual abuse and severe physical abuse and their supportive family members at no charge. These services are provided by licensed master's level counselors at both of our CARE House locations.

Solutions - The goal of the program is to ensure community safety by providing early intervention, education, and treatment to identified sexually reactive youth. These services are provided by therapists who are certified to treat juvenile sex offenders. The program provides the skills and tools necessary for youths to recognize and manage their sexually aggressive behaviors; thus affording them a much greater chance of controlling impulses and leading non-assaultive lives.

Family Advocate is a program designed to offer emotional support to the non-offending caregivers of sexually abused children. Family Advocates are available to make referrals for counseling, job training, medical assistance, transportation, or child-care. They are trained to work one-on-one with the caregiver and help them reclaim their lives.

The Multi-disciplinary Team utilizes discussion and information sharing regarding the investigation, case status and services needed by the child and family. These meetings occur on a routine basis. The Multi-disciplinary Team is comprised of representatives from Law Enforcement, Baldwin County Department of Human Resources, District Attorney's office, Medical Personnel, Victim Advocates and the Child Advocacy Center. This team approach helps minimize trauma to child victims of abuse and neglect.

Court School is provided to children and their supportive family members prior to appearing in court. This program helps reduce anxiety by familiarizing them with the courtroom and explaining the upcoming court process.
