The Child Advocacy Center is
accredited by the National Children's Alliance, and provides
Forensic Interviewing of children suspected of having been
sexually abused. Expert court testimony and court advocacy
for the victim are provided when alleged perpetrators are
charged with sex crimes against children. Counseling for the
victims, their siblings and non-offending caregivers is
provided free of charge. Last year, 380 children received
these services, along with 298 of their family members.
Special Thanks to the Avon Foundation for their
