Our Kids Center
Our Kids Center is a Nashville not-for-profit that offers expert medical and crisis counseling services for children when there are allegations or concerns of child sexual abuse and community awareness, research, education and training programs about child maltreatment. Our Kids is the only center of its kind in the Middle-Tennessee area and has examined over 15,000 children over the center's 21-year history.
Parthenon donated its expertise and services to create a new website for the organization. The new site offers information about what to expect at the center, information on child maltreatment, online event registration and ticket purchasing and much more.
The new site was launched in the summer of 2007. The website received a very warm response from the center's case managers, social workers and visitors.
“I was so relieved to discover that I could stay with my child during the exam. My child was relieved to know that Our Kids nurses don't give shots! The website really helped us through a very difficult time.” — Parent
“Going to the Our Kids website was so helpful. It even showed pictures of the building and the staff. It helped us understand the process step by step. I needed that.” — Parent
“Many caregivers have expressed their gratitude for the website. Access to specific information about the medical exam eases the anxiety and distress for everyone. That's worth a lot!” — Lisa Dupree, LCSW, Our Kids
“I am thrilled with the work that Parthenon has accomplished to help Our Kids. We have many stakeholders… the patients and their caregivers, referral sources like Department of Children's Services, law enforcement, hospitals, volunteers who want to help, donors who want to give. Our Kids' new website addresses the needs of all of these groups. Thanks to Parthenon, Our Kids is certainly seen as a accessible, responsive organization. We love Parthenon!” — Sue Fort White, Ed.D., Executive Director, Our Kids
“We sold $2,000 of tickets on our Web Site for Soup Sunday. Thanks to Parthenon, the Soup Sunday attendance and revenue were really got a boost. It's all for the children who need our help.” — Soup Sunday volunteer
