       The CACRC has been chosen as one of the Charities of Choice for the

                                    6th Annual Fairy House Tour

         in and around the beautiful south end district of Portsmouth, NH!

                         

The tour will include Strawberry Banke, Prescott Park, the Govenor John Langdon House and the Wentworth Gardner and Tobias Lear Houses. Tracy Kane will be present to chat with The Fairy Houses fans and sign her books. South New Hampshire Dance Theatre will present excerpts from the new "Fairy Houses Ballet - The Journey." Plus, help build a Fairy House Village in the new enchanted forest at the Govenor Langdon House!

The Child Advocacy Center has been asked to participate in this event by gathering Fairy House building materials and selling tickets before the event (see ticket information below if you are interested in participating in the fun!). We are also looking for volunteers to distribute building materials at the John Langdon House on Saturday, September 18th and Sunday, September 19th from noon until 4 p.m. Click here for more details on the event, for what materials are needed and how to build a fairy house.

           

Did you know the CACRC now offers Extended Forensic Evaluation? An Extended Forensic Evaluation is appropriate for children where the results of a single interview are inconclusive or where there are serious concerns about the child's ability to participate in a single-session interview. Such children might be the young child, a child with developmental delays or cognitive disabilities, or an extremely traumatized child. Cultural considerations may indicate a need for this type of evaluation, rather than a single-session interview.

On April 12th the Child Advocacy Center of Rockingham County along with Attorney General Michael Delaney and New Hampshire Chronicle's Tiffany Eddy will honor twelve Champions for Children. An Award reception was held at the Exeter Inn starting at 8a.m. in recognition of Kathy Beebe (SASS), Chris Cavaretta (DCYF Portsmouth), Jay Gibson (President of Piscataqua Savings Bank), Doctor Wendy Gladstone (CARE program), Julie Golkowski (Dare Mighty Things), Trooper Sara Howard (NH Department of Safety), Diane Larochelle (YWCA), Detective Sergeant Tara Laurent (Newmartket Police), Detective Mike Munck (Exeter Police), Jason Myers (DCYF Salem), Tom Reid (Deputy County Attorney), and Detective Ken Richard (Derry Police). Each honoree was recognized for their efforts to protect children through the work they perform on a daily basis or as a community member.     

The CACRC would like to say "Thank You!" to the Maine Maritime Academy Alumni Association for donating new stuffed animals for the children that come through our center.
