Children’s Advocacy Centers (CAC) are child-friendly facilities where child victims of abuse may be interviewed, undergo medical examinations, receive therapy, and various other services needed for the child and family to begin healing from the physical, mental and emotional scars of abuse.   CAC’s reduce additional trauma to child victims by coordinating investigations and services, thereby facilitating effective joint investigations and providing for prompt access to mental health and other appropriate services in z child-focused and non-threatening environment. CAC’s are community-based, so each is uniquely designed to best meet the needs of its individual community.
