Training That Strengthens the Response to Child Abuse

PennCAC equips MDT and CAC professionals across Pennsylvania with the knowledge, tools, and confidence needed to respond to child abuse effectively—and work together as a coordinated system.

Responding to child abuse requires more than awareness—it requires the right training, the right approach, and the ability to work across systems.

PennCAC provides practical, evidence-informed training that prepares MDT and CAC professionals to act with clarity, confidence, and coordination.
