The Pennyrile Children’s Advocacy Center unveiled their new location and their new logo Wednesday, and citizens were able to take tours of the new offices.
The new space is cozy and comfortable, designed to help children from the Pennyrile region who have been victims of abuse feel safe and secure enough to talk about their trauma with those who are there to help them. Executive Director Candra Barnett says they see approximately 300 victims in a year and they do more than provide court services—they also focus on healing and recovery.
She says they learned to adapt to new challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, and this new location will allow them to continue providing quality services to those in need.
Their offices are now located at 1910 South Virginia Street, and their new phone number is 270-881-1111. Barnett says along with their usual services, they are always looking to educate the community on awareness and prevention.
Barnett says they’re eager to really get back out into the community and work on fundraising measures, which were heavily impacted during the pandemic—she says she’s excited to see what ideas her staff and board of directors comes up with.
