- Natchez Children’s Services (NCS) stopped being a care facility for children in 2009 because the state and federal laws about group care for children changed.
- The Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) is currently the only program NCS operates.
- The CAC does not remove children from families, does not provide foster care and does not help with adoptions.
- The CAC is an independent, non-profit agency.
- We are NOT employees of CPS, the Police or Sheriff’s Department or any state agency.
- The CAC provides services without charge to families and the agency who brings a case to the Center.
- The CAC is no longer located in the historic Natchez Children’s Services home. We needed our program to be in a secure and separate location. The historic home is now hosting a Christian day school and the sounds of children’s laughter can be heard in the halls again.
- Due to the confidential nature of our work we are unable to accept court mandated community service volunteers.
- The funds to support our services to Adams, Claiborne, Franklin, Jefferson and Wilkinson counties come from private donations and a few federal reimbursement grants.
