Child Advocacy Centers (CACs)

Child Advocacy Centers (CACs) are dedicated facilities where children who have experienced abuse or neglect receive support and protection. They provide a safe, child-friendly environment for interviews, medical examinations, and counseling, often involving a team of professionals like social workers, law enforcement, and mental health experts. The goal is to reduce the trauma of reporting abuse by centralizing services, ensuring thorough investigations, and offering comfort and healing for the child throughout the process. CACs strive to coordinate care and promote justice while prioritizing the child's well-being.
