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.
