The Mission of the CACs are to coordinate a timely, comprehensive and multidisciplinary response to victims of child abuse in a safe and child friendly setting. Our CACs are committed to the reduction of secondary trauma to child victims of abuse during the investigative and prosecutorial process, working in collaboration with the professionals in law enforcement, social services, the District Attorney, school system and the mental health and medical community, advocating for a child’s right to be heard and the journey from victim to survivor that begins with the initial outcry and is followed through healing and empowerment of child and family.
