Great Gratitude & November News!

November is a great time to gear up for practicing gratitude, and expressing thankfulness. We welcome the opportunity to say thank you for your recent support at our successful fundraiser and all year round. It takes a large and collaborative team to walk the talk of upholding the rights of children in our nine county service area. The Advocacy Network for Children is so thankful every day for our caring partners who work together in legislature, law enforcement, DCFS, the State’s Attorneys office, mental and medical health providers, volunteers, donors and the community.

You can read more about all the wonderful ways you’ve helped us succeed in our newsletters!

What is Grooming? August News Flash! Discover the Latest!

The most basic definition is grooming is a process by which an offender gradually draws a victim into a sexual relationship and maintains that relationship in secrecy. At the same time, the offender may also fill roles within the victim’s family that make the offender trusted and valued.

Grooming can be accomplished in so many more ways and through different avenues. Our staff is trained to recognize the signs of grooming abd can help you learn them to.

For more information about grooming or to learn ways you can volunteer for our agency, read the newsletters!
