What We Do and Why
Why: Our Motivation
Child Advocacy Center team members remain dedicated to the tireless fight to assure that children and their families have a victim- centered experience in a safe and responsive place to move beyond their trauma to Heal, Survive and Thrive.
How: What We Do
Child Advocacy Centers partner with multiple public, private, state, county and local organizations to provide a collaborative, coordinated systematic response to child abuse investigations and subsequent supports for child victims and their families. Our CACs are intentionally designed to be child/family friendly, trauma informed, victim centered, neutral settings for joint investigations and forensic interviews of child victims of crime involving sexual abuse, felony level physical abuse, and child witnesses to violence such as a homicide or a serious domestic assault.
Impact: Positive Outcomes for Kids
We seek justice for child victims while supporting children and their families on a sustainable path to healing.
