CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER
Bringing healing and hope to children in Davie and Davidson Counties, NC by working together to prevent long-term effects of abuse.
Our Mission
The mission of The Dragonfly House Children’s Advocacy Center is to reduce the devastating long-term effects that all forms of child abuse have on children, their families and society through immediate, coordinated, child focused services, education, and advocacy.
Helping children find their voice, their strength, and their wings
What to Expect at The Dragonfly House
The Dragonfly House Children’s Advocacy Center provides a coordinated, child-focused response to reports of abuse and neglect. As a united team of professionals—from law enforcement and child protection to medical, mental health, and advocacy—we offer a safe, supportive space where children are heard, families are guided, and healing begins.
Together, we help break the cycle of abuse and build stronger, safer communities.
Families are referred to The Dragonfly House by law enforcement or the Department of Social Services to assist with open investigations involving possible child abuse, neglect, or maltreatment. We are often one of the first steps in the investigative process and serve as a trusted resource for both families and investigative agencies.
If you are concerned about a child please reach out to local law enforcement FIRST
During the Appointment
Children are brought by a non-offending caregiver, who will have the opportunity to speak with our crime victim advocate about the process and what to expect.
