The Mark and Maureen Davitt Beacon Place is a program of the Child Advocacy Center of Greater Rochester (CACGROC) and was made possible by the generosity of Mark and Maureen Davitt.
“Providing help for abused children is not just a choice, it is a testament to our humanity. Abuse leaves scars that may never fully heal, but there is hope.
By offering support, counseling, and protection, we can help our children try to reclaim their stolen childhoods. We look forward to a world where every child can grow, free from fear and violence.”
- Mark and Maureen Davitt

Assessing Children
Witnessing Violence
Through our partnerships with Willow Domestic Violence Center and the Family Justice Center, we will set up an intake process to screen the thousands of children per year who experience trauma as secondary victims of domestic violence.

Art therapy has long been a successful way to reach many children who have experienced trauma, and can become a lifelong outlet for a healthy life. Art therapy will be offered by a child abuse certified and art therapy certified professional.
