In the world of child advocacy, few organizations address the complexities of abuse with the depth, empathy, and psychological insight of the New Jersey Children's Alliance (NJCA). Led by Debbie Riveros, NJCA has emerged as a critical force in New Jersey, equipping communities, professionals, and families with the tools to recognize, intervene, and heal from the often unseen effects of child abuse. "It's been a passion of mine to protect children, literally my whole life," Riveros says.
Her career spans nearly two decades as a victim advocate, specializing in child abuse cases within the Special Victims Unit. Her lifelong commitment to safeguarding children informs every program NJCA undertakes.
