KARA is piloting an AI driven, interactive child abuse and child protection information platform—and we need your help to shape it. By exploring the pilot and sharing what works, what’s confusing, and what’s missing, you’ll help us build a tool that truly serves educators, child advocates, families, policymakers, and others working with traumatized children. Your feedback in this early stage will guide how we organize data, refine answers, and add features before a wider launch.
