At our local child advocacy centers
…a child can relate their experience one time in one place, rather than being shuttled between doctors, police, counselors, and child advocates. We strive to provide a comfortable, child-friendly setting in which a child can feel safe telling what has happen to them. Our multidisciplinary teams are made up of trained professionals whose primary goal is to reduce the burden on children and help facilitate their recover.
