A Child Advocacy Center is a child-focused, collaborative through which a response to child abuse is coordinated. The CAC model brings together professionals and agencies needed to offer comprehensive services to victims and their families: law enforcement, child protective services, medical professionals, mental health, victim advocacy, and prosecution. The community approach prevents further victimization and trauma for victims while promoting efficacy in investigation, treatment and prosecution of child abuse. CACs are located throughout the United States and reflect local community’s demographics and needs.
