To report child abuse: If you have an immediate emergency, call 911 or your local police department; otherwise, call DFCS Child Protective Services at 1.855.GACHILD (422.4453) to report child abuse and/or neglect. Child abuse and/or neglect reports are taken 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Being a parent is hard work, and sometimes we can all use a little help to get through the tough parts. It takes parents, caregivers and RESOURCES to help children thrive. 1-800-CHILDREN (1-800-244-5373) is a free statewide helpline that will give you information you can use wherever you live in Georgia. Callers can talk to a trained individual who cares and wants to help. The 1-800-CHILDREN Helpline Resource Map, supports Georgia families with access and information to over 3,000 providers throughout the state.

Building a SafePath: From Confusion to Clarity has been an evolution over many years of working with child victims of sexual abuse and their parents and loved ones. At SafePath, we believe that a parent’s support is vital to a child’s recovery from trauma of sexual abuse. More than anything, children need the love and support of those who have the greatest influence and impact in their lives. It is with this in mind that Building a SafePath was written.
