Langley Child and Youth Advocacy Centre

In BC, one out of every three children experience some form of abuse.

Out of 22,000+ potential victims in our community, only about 2,000 report their abuse, and fewer receive the care and support they need to heal.

But with the right resources, provided in a child- and youth-friendly space right here in our community, we know we can do a better job supporting these children.

Through a collaboration with community partners and with the support from donors, we will be opening Langley’s first Child and Youth Advocacy Centre (CYAC), overseen by Encompass Support Services Society (ESSS).

At the Langley CYAC, children and youth will be treated to a compassionate and integrated response from a circle of care who can provide support through their healing journey.

No longer will families have to navigate often confusing and difficult to access services and systems in many different locations across the Fraser Valley, recounting the details of their abuse each time in order to receive the care they need and so deserve.

A gift from you today means that this important resource can bridge gaps and create easier pathways to support children and youth who have experienced abuse.
