Douglas CARES: Moving to Our New Building and Seeking Community Support

15 Oct, 2024
At Douglas CARES, we're excited to announce that we’ll soon be moving to a brand-new building designed just for us, thanks to the generosity of local developer Guy Kennerly. His commitment to helping our cause has been truly remarkable, and we're eager to begin this new chapter. Starting in early December, you can find us at our new address: 1939 NE Diamond Lake Blvd, Roseburg. This move marks a significant milestone for Douglas CARES as we continue our mission to protect children and uplift families. The new space will provide the dedicated environment needed to support our work in child advocacy, but we need your help to make it feel like home. Why This Move Matters The work we do at Douglas CARES is crucial for the safety and well-being of children in our community. As part of the Children's Advocacy Centers (CACs) network, we coordinate investigations and treatment for child abuse cases using a multidisciplinary team approach. This system ensures children only have to tell their story once in a safe environment, reducing trauma and facilitating quicker access to services. The new building will allow us to continue offering these essential services more efficiently and with greater capacity. With dedicated spaces for forensic interviews, therapy, and medical exams, the move will enhance our ability to support child victims and their families during difficult times. Seeking Sponsorships: Your Support Can Make a Difference Moving into a new space comes with many challenges, especially when it comes to outfitting the building with the necessary furniture and equipment to continue our services seamlessly. We are currently seeking sponsorships for furniture and moving costs. Every dollar raised will go directly toward creating a welcoming, child-friendly space where we can continue to provide trauma-informed care to those who need it most. Your support will ensure that Douglas CARES can continue to be a place where children feel safe, families find hope, and offenders are held accountable. Whether you’re a business or an individual, your contribution will have a lasting impact on the community. How You Can Help If you’d like to contribute to our move or learn more about sponsorship opportunities, please visit our donation page. We are counting on the generosity of the community to help us create a space that reflects the importance of our mission and provides the best possible environment for children and families in crisis. Together, we can make a difference. Contact our business today to learn more about how you can get involved in supporting our new home and the essential services we provide.

This year, Douglas CARES is celebrating its 30th anniversary! In 1994, we opened our doors with just a handful of employees working out of a few rooms in a little house. Today, we've grown to 25 employees, occupying a 9,000-square-foot building with state-of-the-art interview and recording equipment, a fully functional clinic with a full-time doctor, and a robust mental health department. Who We Are Douglas CARES strives to eradicate child abuse and neglect in Douglas County through effective, compassionate response and prevention, thereby protecting children and uplifting families. Our mission has remained steadfast over the years, focusing on providing support and hope to those who need it most. What We Do We're there to respond to child abuse and neglect in all forms. For our partners in Law Enforcement and Child Welfare, we provide Forensic Interviews and Forensic Medical Exams. We stand by the family throughout the complex and emotional process of a child abuse investigation, offering comprehensive mental health services to aid in their healing journey. Join Us in Celebration The anniversary celebration will take place at Douglas CARES, located at 545 W. Umpqua St. Roseburg, OR 97471, on June 7th from 5pm-7pm.
