CHILDREN’S HOME
CHILD ADVOCACY CENTER
Children’s Home Child Advocacy Center
It is an unfortunate reality in our community that child abuse happens more frequently than we think. At Children’s Home Child Advocacy Center (CAC), we work as a team and respect the courage it takes for a child to disclose abuse.
Did you know?
One in four girls and one in six boys will experience some form of sexual abuse by age 18.
We offer an environment that is safe and supportive for the child and the family. Together, we can give the child a voice and an opportunity to begin their healing.
What is a Child Advocacy Center?
The purpose of Child Advocacy Centers (CACs), first created in 1985, is to provide children with a safe place to share their story of trauma to experts who will listen and help them heal.
Before CACs existed, children relived the trauma of abuse by repeating their story numerous times to police, medical professionals, child protection specialists and others. Today, there are more than 900 CACs nationwide.
Report child abuse at 877.244.0864 or call 911 if the child is in danger.
