Quotes from Parents on the Impact<br />
of The Children’s Center<br />
“It went way above and beyond my<br />
expectations. The fact that everyone was there<br />
just for me and my child was heartwarming.<br />
I felt as though everything was going to be ok.”<br />
“It was just a comfortable feeling during such a<br />
time of heartache.”<br />
“After I left The Center, I had a sense of relief<br />
that everything was going to be ok. I contacted<br />
the case manager on a few occasions and she<br />
was always responsive to my needs. She also<br />
checked in with us on a regular basis to make<br />
sure we were doing ok and aware of what was<br />
going on.”<br />
“Just ‘Thank You’ for being there for us.”<br />

“My daughter walked away feeling<br />
safe and proud of herself.”<br />

A MESSAGE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR<br />
Recently, The Children's Center of Medina County has experienced an<br />
increased number of children needing our services. During <strong>2017</strong>, we<br />
saw an increase in children experiencing sexual abuse in Medina<br />
County. The Center also saw an increase in children requiring visitation<br />
space during their time in Foster Care.<br />
We cannot continue to help children heal from abuse without the<br />
support of our community. Each person in Medina County is an<br />
integral part of the village needed to keep our children safe and to<br />
provide the funding and support required to help children heal and<br />
have an opportunity to just be children.<br />
No child should ever have to experience abuse, but this is not the<br />
reality. Each year in Medina County over 500 children experience<br />
neglect, sexual abuse or physical abuse. As you read through our<br />
<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> you will learn the startling numbers of the reality of<br />
abuse in Medina County and how it impacts our children. You will also<br />
learn about the steps The Children's Center of Medina County is taking<br />
to help children who experience abuse, prevent abuse, and provide<br />
the Medina County community with the awareness necessary to help<br />
families and children before abuse occurs.<br />
We are extremely grateful for each of you.<br />
Please know that without you children in<br />
Medina County will not receive the services and<br />
support they need to heal from abuse.<br />
Thank You,<br />
RHONDA WURGLER<br />
Executive Director<br />
