Inside a Child Advocacy Center: How McMahon Ryan Protects Kids

Описание: Inside a Child Advocacy Center: How McMahon Ryan Is Protecting Kids in Our Community

What happens when a child needs help—and where do families turn in their most difficult moments?

In this powerful and compassionate episode of Inner Harbor Cast, we sit down with Erin and Catherine from McMahon Ryan Child Advocacy Center, a nonprofit right here in our community dedicated to ending child abuse through prevention, education, and coordinated support services.

McMahon Ryan provides a safe, child-friendly space where children and families receive advocacy, medical care, mental health services, and critical resources during times of crisis. From forensic interviews to prevention education in local schools, their work touches thousands of children every year—and chances are, it impacts someone you know.

As we head into Child Abuse Prevention Month (April), this conversation sheds light on:
