About This Cause
The Need Break the Cycle of Child Abuse Child abuse is a silent epidemic that leaves deep, invisible scars on its victims, capable of shaping futures in devastating ways. It knows no boundaries—cutting across race, economic status, and education levels—leaving children to suffer in silence, their pain unheard. These traumas don’t simply fade with time; they linger, manifesting as overwhelming anxiety, self-harm, and even suicide. But this tragic cycle is not inevitable. When children are given a voice—when they are believed, supported, and empowered to heal—their futures are no longer defined by their pasts. By breaking the silence, providing caregivers with therapy and support, and creating a safe space for families to heal, they gain the power to break the cycle, finding hope and a path forward. Address the Mental Health Crisis Mental health struggles have reached a crisis point, with one in five adults in the U.S. facing anxiety or depression, and more children experiencing similar challenges as they navigate life’s toughest stressors. In New Jersey, this crisis is compounded by a critical shortage of mental health professionals, overwhelmed counselors, and significant barriers to care. The lack of adequate treatment is at the root of many large-scale social issues—substance abuse, unemployment, homelessness, incarceration, and physical health problems. These crises impact every sector—from schools and healthcare to businesses—and we all share in the cost. At CEC, we are committed to leading the charge in mental health advocacy and treatment, creating a ripple effect of positive change that strengthens individuals, families, and entire communities.

Leading the Way in Child Abuse Treatment: 30 Years of Innovation and Impact For over 30 years, CEC has been a pioneer in the assessment and treatment of child abuse. As a trusted leader, others turn to us for the latest, most innovative approaches, drawing on our years of experience and dedication to advancing the standard of care. Our team of psychologists, social workers, counselors, and a psychiatrist brings deep expertise across therapeutic models, ensuring specialized, trauma-informed care in a safe and supportive environment. We stay at the forefront of research, continuously evolving our approach and sharing our knowledge to elevate the field. By fostering collaboration and an open exchange of ideas, we not only provide children and families with adaptive, effective treatment but also equip them with the resilience and self-sufficiency to thrive into adulthood—creating lasting change that strengthens families and transforms communities. 2. Constantly Evolving to Meet Changing Mental Health Needs CEC has remained a leader in transforming mental health care, continuously evolving to meet the community’s most urgent needs. What began as a focus on child abuse and neglect has expanded into a comprehensive approach addressing trauma, behavioral disorders, anxiety, family instability, and crisis situations. Our holistic, multidisciplinary model treats the whole person—mind, body, and environment—fostering resilience, supporting family stability, and empowering long-term success. By adapting to the ever-changing mental health landscape, we create lasting impact, strengthening individuals, families, and the broader community for generations to come. 3. Stronger Together: Uniting for Child Protection and Community Healing As an advocate and catalyst for change, we forge community partnerships that protect vulnerable children and strengthen families. These close community ties allow us to adapt, respond, and lead collaborative efforts that tackle systemic challenges. By working with schools, healthcare providers, public agencies, law enforcement, and other mental health providers, we create a unified front against child abuse, neglect, and mental health crises—breaking cycles of trauma, preventing revictimization, and building a safer, more resilient future for all. 4. Transforming Lives with Compassionate, Tailored Care Because trauma and mental health challenges are unique to each individual, we provide a personalized, compassionate approach. Our team, with specialized training and deep expertise, addresses even the most complex situations—from family dynamics and behavioral crises to addiction and the impact of abuse. Through therapy, forensic evaluations, and interventions during challenging events, we provide comprehensive care that considers each person’s past, present, and future. By offering tailored treatment, we guide individuals on a path to resilience, healing, and lasting change.
