How We
Can Help
Has your child been abused, or perhaps the victim or witness to a crime? Are you feeling confused? Scared? Not sure what will happen, or how to get help for your child? The Child Advocacy Center offers a neutral facility, that is safe, secure, and child friendly. Think of us as a one stop shop. A place where a child can receive an interview, get a medical evaluation, and therapy; a place where a victim advocate can help the parent/caregiver with criminal injury compensation and other resource referrals.
