The TEDI BEAR Children’s Advocacy Center is the largest in North Carolina and is accredited to provide a full spectrum of care for children up to 18 years old who may have been victims of child abuse or neglect. In addition to providing medical evaluation and care, we also help facilitate cooperation between other health care, legal, social service, law enforcement and mental health services.
TEDI BEAR’s staff – which consists of pediatricians, physician extenders, social workers, child life specialists, therapists, community educators, a multi-disciplinary team coordinator and office support staff – provides comprehensive, coordinated child-centered services, education and outreach in order to ensure child safety.
Each year, TEDI BEAR cares for more than 600 children from 29 counties in eastern North Carolina. Services for children and families at our center include:
