Child Advocacy Center

The Child Advocacy Center (CAC) is a child-friendly center that assists child victims of sexual abuse trauma and their family members. Services help children aged 0 through 17 years and adults with intellectual disabilities. Forensic interviews, mental health care, and medical care are offered at the CAC to assure fact gathering, assessing the emotional consequences of an experience and ensuring a qualified medical examination to identify possible injuries or health concerns.

Child sexual abuse medical examinations are made available, in part, by a grant from the Child Victims’ Trust Fund. The Child Advocacy Center is accredited by the National Children’s Alliance.
