Child Advocacy Center
What is a Child Advocacy Center (CAC)?
CACs are an important part of child abuse investigations, with a focus on minimizing trauma to the child during the process. They bring together a multidisciplinary team of professionals involved in child protective and victim advocacy services, including law enforcement and prosecution, and physical and mental health providers.
Report Child Abuse
If you don't report it, who will?
It can be difficult to report child abuse. People often find it easier to ignore it or avoid thinking about the possibility a child may have been abused. But if you don’t report child abuse, the child will be unprotected and the abuse will likely continue. Often, families are ashamed, distressed, or do not know how to ask for help.
If you suspect a child is being sexually or physically abused, reach out to Child Protective Services (CPS) to report it ASAP at 855-444-3911.
