No matter the situation, there is always a way forward. You are not alone, and help is here.
Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline
(1-800-4-A-CHILD)

Available 24/7 by call, text, or online chat, the hotline connects children, parents, caregivers, and concerned adults with immediate support in up to 240 languages. Whether you’re seeking guidance, reporting suspected abuse, or simply need someone to listen, our team is here to help.
Childhelp Children’s Advocacy Centers
Located in Phoenix, AZ and Knoxville, TN
Childhelp Children’s Advocacy Centers in Phoenix, AZ, and Knoxville, TN, bring law enforcement, medical staff, therapists, and advocates together in one child-focused environment. This multidisciplinary approach reduces trauma, speeds up care, and ensures that children receive protection, treatment, and legal support all under one roof.
By creating a safe and welcoming space, our advocacy centers make it easier for children to share their stories, receive critical services, and begin the journey toward healing. Each case handled through our centers is a step toward safety, justice, and recovery.
Childhelp Relative Care Services
For Trusted Relatives or Close Family
When children cannot remain safely at home, Relative Care Services place them with trusted relatives or close family friends. This option keeps children connected to people they know and love, reducing the trauma of separation while ensuring safety, stability, and emotional well-being throughout an often overwhelming and difficult time.
Childhelp supports caregivers every step of the way, helping them navigate the placement process, access vital resources, and confidently create a safe, loving environment where children can feel secure, nurtured, and supported until a permanent, long-term plan is in place.
Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline
Every call can save a child’s life. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline is available 24/7 to anyone who needs help — children, parents, teachers, neighbors, or professionals. With calls, texts, and chats answered by trained counselors, it’s often the first step toward protecting a child from harm.
Don’t wait. If you suspect abuse or need guidance, reach out today.
Childhelp’s intervention services are built to respond with urgency, compassion, and coordination. Our model ensures that children are protected the moment a risk is identified, while families and caregivers receive the guidance they need to move forward.
This approach makes Childhelp more than a responder in a crisis — we are a partner in building pathways from danger to safety, and from trauma to healing.
When abuse is happening, waiting is not an option. A child in crisis needs immediate action to ensure their safety and to begin the process of healing. Intervention provides that lifeline — stopping abuse in its tracks, reducing the harm of trauma, and giving families the resources they need to move forward. It is the critical bridge between danger and recovery.
