 Childhelp®  Facts

The following statistics are from the Corporate Offices of Childhelp®:

• A report of child abuse is made every 10 seconds.
• This is 3.3 million reports a year.
• 90% of sexual abusers are friends or family (etc) with their victims
• Child abuse occurs at every socio-economic level, across ethnic and cultural lines, within all religions and at all levels of education.
• Over 75% (78%) of child fatalities due to abuse happen to children UNDER the age of 3
• Almost one third, 30% of abused and neglected children will later abuse their own children, continuing the horrible cycle of abuse.

The national offices of Childhelp are located in Scottsdale, Arizona and were founded in 1959 by Sara O'Meara and Yvonne Fedderson. Childhelp® is a leading national non-profit organization dedicated to helping victims of child abuse and neglect. Childhelp's® approach focuses on prevention, intervention and treatment. The Childhelp® National Child Abuse Hotline, 1-800-4-A-CHILD, operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and receives calls from throughout the United States, Canada, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Guam. Childhelp's® programs and services also include residential treatment services (villages); children's advocacy centers; therapeutic foster care; group homes; child abuse prevention, education and training; and the National Day of Hope®, part of National Child Abuse Prevention Month every April. Several of Childhelp's® programs were firsts, and continue to be studied by professionals worldwide as "models that work." Sara O'Meara and Yvonne Fedderson continue to actively lead the organization and provide its vision, serving as Chairman/CEO and President, respectively. 

Childhelp® ADVOCACY Center
Primarily is used to provide a “Child friendly” atmosphere to conduct and treat child victims of abuse and neglect. Since the center houses police detectives, child protective services, mental health, therapy, forensic interviewers and medical professionals, it is the model of a “one-stop” processing Center. When the Center opened, it served about 2500 children the first year. Now it serves over 6000-7000 yearly.

Childhelp® KEYS Community Center
Knowledge, Education, Youth and Society are the Foundation of the Childhelp® KEYS Community Center.

KEYS Provides:
- Safe Preschool and After-school Children’s Learning Center  - AIMS & GED Testing Instruction Back To School Programs  - Library, Computer, Snacks, Sports and Life Integration Lessons
