Dorchester Children's Advocacy Center rebrands as the Kay Phillips Child Advocacy Center!

We have officially gone from Children in Crisis to a single name to honor the woman whose 20 years of service shaped this Center into what it is today.

In coordination with the opening of our new Berkeley Center, we have been working tirelessly this year on rebranding the center name and logo. The new location would have added a second dba and a third name for the organization, which makes it confusing and hard to navigate.

That is why, beginning today, we have officially gone from Children in Crisis, doing business as Dorchester Children’s Advocacy Center and Berkeley Children’s Advocacy Center to a single name to honor the woman whose 20 years of service shaped this Center into what it is today.

We are elated to announce that we will now be known as the

Kay Phillips Child Advocacy Center!

This change was championed by members of both the Children in Crisis Board of Directors and Center Staff, and was unanimously approved at the March Board of Directors meeting. Board President Tony Pope, says, “The center has grown into what it is today because of Dr. Phillips’ hard work and dedication to improving the lives of children and families in our communities, and we are elated to announce this change.”

As a leader in the child welfare community, Dr. Phillips has brought about substantial changes in her 20 year tenure at Children in Crisis, which provides treatment at no cost for child abuse victims and their families in Dorchester and Berkeley counties, and where she has orchestrated growth of the organization, which now serves over 1,600 clients annually.
