WHAT'S A CAC?
Children's Advocacy Centers (CACs) are child-focused, child-friendly facilities where children and their non offending family members feel safe enough to get the help they need to stop abuse and begin the process of healing.
CACs use a multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach that brings together professionals from law enforcement, child protective services, medical, mental health, victim advocacy and other agencies to offer comprehensive services to children and their families.
