As adults in our community, we have a responsibility to protect the children around us. Please view our resources to learn how to prevent, recognize, respond to, and report child abuse so that you can help keep our community safe.

The Importance of the CAC

Before the CAC, a child was interviewed repeatedly by many professionals. With the CAC model all that has changed.

The amount of times the child must disclose the abuse is significantly decreased, sparing the child from re-victimization and minimizing their trauma.

Get Involved at the Center....

The Child First Advocacy Center has diverse, flexible, and meaningful opportunities for those interested in volunteering their time and unique talents toward meeting the needs of children traumatized by abuse.
