Our Mission:
To protect children by
providing multi-disciplinary
intervention in investigation,
assessment, and treatment
of child sexual abuse in an environment
that is child sensitive,
supportive and safe.

------------------------------

Our Philosophy:
The Board of Directors, staff and volunteers of the Children's Advocacy Center believe child abuse is a community problem. Past experience has taught us that no single agency can possibly meet all the needs of sexually victimized children and their families. Experience has also taught us that taking child victims from agency to agency over and over for multiple interviews, traumatizes the children and, in fact, re-victimizes them.

We are committed to providing a coordinated, multi-disciplinary team approach including Protective Services, Law Enforcement, Prosecution, Medical and Mental Health professionals. It is our goal to provide programs and support services for child victims and their families which will enable them to heal emotionally and physically.

Child Abuse... The Big Secret
"Just because you never see it...
Just because you don't talk about it...
Just because you can't believe it...
Doesn't mean its not happening.
Sexual abuse occurs with alarming frequency...
In all kinds of families...
to all kinds of kids."
