Children’s Advocacy Centers (CACs) are designed to make a difficult situation easier to navigate by providing coordinated care in one place.
Instead of navigating multiple systems on your own, CACs bring together professionals from different fields—including law enforcement, child protective services, victim advocates, medical providers, and mental health professionals.
This coordinated approach ensures that children receive consistent, compassionate care while reducing the need to repeat difficult experiences.
CACs are designed to be safe, welcoming spaces where children feel supported.
Specially trained professionals speak with children in a way that is developmentally appropriate and trauma-informed.
Children and families can access care and services that support healing and recovery.
Professionals work together to ensure the child’s safety and well-being.
