I have worked at The Tree House since 2008 and have seen many children and families come through our program. I know that what we do helps them begin their healing process after what is often unspeakable trauma. I have known our staff for years. They are knowledgeable, caring, talented and completely dedicated to our cause, and to all the children who walk through our doors.
There are many wonderful charities to which you can give, but the abused children who are invisible to you in plain sight are often forgotten. I will not forget them. I hope you won't either.
Thank you for your support!

Every year hundreds of bicyclists and cookie lovers join together to participate in The Tree House Tour de Cookie. The ride is great fun and supports services critical to the community. All proceeds from the event go to The Tree House CAC. It is a joyful day of fun, festivities, and philanthropy.
The Tree House CAC of Montgomery County MD is dedicated to reducing trauma and promoting healing for child victims of physical abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect. For more than twelve years, the Tree House has served as the only child advocacy organization in Montgomery County, Maryland, and in the past year alone has supported over 700 children in the search for hope and healing.
Our services include:
• comprehensive medical examinations
• mental health assessments
• ongoing mental health therapy for the child and non-offending family members
• victim advocacy
• forensic interviews
• nurse case management
• education & prevention
All of our services are free to victims and their non-offending family members.
