Care Cottage
Kentucky River Children's Advocacy Center
Hope. Healing. Justice.
What We Do
The Care Cottage provides a safe, child-friendly environment where children and families impacted by abuse, neglect, and trauma can begin the healing process. Through advocacy, forensic interviews, medical services, therapy referrals, prevention education, and collaboration with community partners, we work to ensure every child has a voice, receives justice, and has the opportunity to heal.
Who We Serve
The Care Cottage serves children throughout the Kentucky River Region who have experienced abuse, neglect, exploitation, or other traumatic events. We provide a safe, child-friendly environment where children can be heard, supported, and connected with the services they need to begin healing.
Our services are available to children and families regardless of their circumstances, and we work alongside caregivers and community partners to ensure every child receives compassionate care, protection, and a path toward healing.
Our Impact
Every year, the Care Cottage provides hope and healing to hundreds of children and families across Southeastern Kentucky. Through coordinated investigations, advocacy, prevention education, and community partnerships, we work to reduce trauma, protect children, and strengthen our communities—always at no cost to the families we serve.
