What’s New at First Light?
When First Light was only a vision, was it possible that anyone involved in The
planning of The Child Advocacy center could have ever imagined that so many
children would pass through these doors, or that so many children would be so in
need of The services offered in The safety of First Light? These are The
questions that each of us ask daily.
First Light began interviewing children at The CAC on February 16, 2004. To
date hundreds of children have been provided a safe place in which to tell their
story of abuse.
