Making a Difference Together: MPI Carolinas Partners with Pat’s Place

The Volunteer Engagement Committee helps to include corporate social responsibility activities in each of our meetings. Our August Chapter Meeting included education regarding human trafficking and how we can each make a difference in combating it, so our chapter also chose to further assist this mission by partnering with Pat’s Place Child Advocacy Center.

Pat’s Place is a nonprofit organization in Mecklenburg County that coordinates the investigation, prosecution and treatment of child abuse, including those coming out of trafficking situations. They provide an environment where a child’s well-being is the top priority, providing the healing services that children need, including forensic interviews, medical care, advocacy support, counseling and more. They also coordinate between community agencies and professionals involved in the system of child protection. Pat’s Place also provides educational resources for children, parents/guardians, and professionals working in this field.
