What Child Protection Center, Inc. does

Child Protection Center, Inc. (CPC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1980 and headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, that delivers prevention, intervention, and treatment services for child abuse across Sarasota and DeSoto Counties. The organization operates from three sites — Sarasota (administrative and program headquarters), North Port (Keith D. Monda Family Campus of Healing), and Arcadia (DeSoto County) — and served 53,563 individuals in fiscal year 2024 through 4,231.75 therapy hours, 574 prevention workshops, 360 medical examinations, and 357 supervised family visits. CPC is the only state-authorized provider of Child Protection Team services (forensic interviews, medical assessments, court testimony) in the two-county region and holds National Children's Alliance accreditation.

CPC's service portfolio is organized into four program pillars: (1) Personal Safety & Community Awareness (PSCA), Florida's longest-tenured child abuse prevention curriculum (since 1992), which delivers workshops on the Touching Rule, anti-bullying, internet safety, conflict resolution, and stress management; (2) the Child Protection Team (CPT), a state-mandated intervention program staffed in coordination with the Florida Department of Health, Department of Children and Families, and law enforcement; (3) the Children and Families Supervised Visitation Program (CFSVP), a court-ordered service providing neutral-site visits between children and non-custodial parents; and (4) Therapy Programs, comprising the Sexual Abuse Treatment Program (SATP), Kid Kindness Program (KKP), and Hanna's Hope (adult survivors, launched 2021). The P.A.W.S. (Pet Advocates Working in the Suncoast) animal-assisted therapy program, founded in 2010 by Danielle Hughes, supports all therapy and court-related touchpoints. All clinical and prevention services are delivered free of charge to clients.

CPC's revenue model is donation-driven and diversified across individual giving (one-time and Ripple of Hope monthly program), foundation grants (Gulf Coast Community Foundation, Flanzer Philanthropic Trust, The Patterson Foundation), government contracts for CPT operations, special-event fundraising (Night of Hope & Healing, Celebrity Bartender Challenge, Runaway Pumpkin 5K, Children's Cup Golf Tournament, Blue Ties & Butterflies), product sales (greeting cards), and planned giving. The customer base is functionally the children and families of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties, with referral inflow primarily routed through the Florida Abuse Hotline (1-800-962-2873) and DCF. Leadership includes Executive Director Doug Staley (26 years of tenure, Florida Department of Health Quality Assurance Committee Team Lead), CFO Nicole Estilow, VP of Philanthropy Sheila Miller, and program directors Danielle Hughes, Michelle McSwain, and Amanda Jans.
