The Carousel Center is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that is
committed to providing services to victims of child abuse. The Center began operations in January, 2000, and serves children from throughout southeastern North Carolina. Referrals are taken from departments of social services and law enforcement, as well as private physicians and others.

The Carousel Center provides critical care services to victims of child abuse from 15 counties throughout southeastern North Carolina. 

Approximately 80 percent of the children who come to TCC have been sexually abused, and 85% of the children we see are 11 years old or younger;

the most common age being only four years old. 

TCC staff is extensively trained and certified to conduct medical forensic interviews and physical exams, such that the needs of law enforcement,

prosecution and social services are met, without requiring the child to tell and retell their story.   Our medical exams and expert testimony are often

relied upon in the prosecution of child abuse cases.

We also provide art therapy, play therapy, family counseling and overall case management, helping children and their non-offending family members

make continual and sustained progress toward healing.
