About our newsletter:
from the Executive Director ……
We are expanding our newsletter publication schedule in an effort to improve our communication with our audiences
regarding upcoming events, status of past events, and important news regarding the CAC and our services. We hope
that you find these newsletters just as informative, educational, and handy to share with friends and family.
To Our Contributors Regarding Fundraising Events:
We are pleased to report that our annual dinner event, held on May 3, brought in over $50,000. Our guest speaker,
Rusty Wallace, was kind enough to donate not one, but two Nascar driving experiences that were extremely popular
with our auction bidders. Your participation and donations help us continue giving victims of child abuse the chance
they deserve to be happy. We Thank You and look forward to seeing you at the new events that are currently being
planned!
Mr. Ted Wampler, Sr. was an incredibly giving, generous and kind
man. It was through this generosity, “Kids First Child Advocacy
Center, Wampler Family Site” began more than eight years ago. He
wanted to help victims of child abuse, wanted to make a difference in
their lives and wanted to see them have a chance in this world. He
and his family knew we were looking for a new home and a place to
locate a permanent Child Advocacy Center. Hearing of our search for
property, Mr. Ted and Ms. Frances decided to share their beautiful
family farm with us, to give us a home next to theirs. The Center sits
on a hill, overlooking trees and grassy meadows. It offers privacy to
victims of child abuse, offers them a feeling of safety while sharing
their nightmares with people that will now join alongside of them so
they don’t have to make the journey from victim to survivor alone.
Mr. Ted gave a home for this journey to begin. Often times he would
come to the Center “to see his girls on the hill”, bringing baked goods or Valentine’s Day candy as he did a few
months ago. He wanted to know how the kids were doing, “are they going to be okay”. He always asked if we
needed anything and thanked us for the work we do to help children. He never left without telling us a story that
almost always ended with his love and admiration for Ms. Frances. He would put his hat back on his head and
say “I’ll see ya” then he would be on his way.
Thank you for choosing to honor Mr. Ted’s memory by making a donation to Kids First Child Advocacy Center,
Wampler Family Site. Your donation helps victims of child abuse receive the following services:
Forensic Interviews Therapy Forensic Medical Examinations Non-offending caregiver education and support Adult Survivor Therapy Court Prep

Our Business
Providing Mental Health Services to parents and neglected children and youth
Many neglected children have parents who are emotionally unstable or depressed. Mental health services
can assist such parents to become emotionally healthier and better able to adequately care for their children. In addition,
children often face adverse and potentially long-term psycho-logical consequences due to neglect. Mental health services,
especially at an early point, can help mitigate these conse-quences and can help ensure that neglect is not transmitted to
the next generation. Neglect is often intertwined with social problems, such as poverty, substance abuse, and family
violence. It is crucial that greater resources be allocated to reduce these major problems that contribute to neglect.
Neglect is the most common form of child maltreatment. 1 in 10 children suffer from child maltreatment. The youngest children are the most vulnerable. Nearly 1 in 10 children are witnesses to family violence. Our Teen Mom Education/Support pogram, also school-based, is a 14 week program and served 8 teen moms.
Would you know what to do if you witnessed an inappropriate
comment or behavior from an adult or older youth toward a child? It's important to know how to enforce boundaries and
protect the children in your life. The graphic below can help you understand your role as an observant bystander.
Understanding how to respond to boundary violations can help
you feel empowered to act.
