CHILDREN’S ADVOCACY CENTER

What is the Children’s Advocacy Center?

Casakids’ Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) provides a safe, welcoming space for children who have experienced abuse or trauma to receive the care they need, all in one place.

In a child-friendly environment, kids can take part in forensic interviews, medical exams, and therapy, all designed to support their healing while helping professionals better understand their experiences.

The goal is to make what can be a difficult process feel as comfortable and supportive as possible for each child.

The CAC also works closely with law enforcement, child protective services, and other community partners to make sure families don’t have to navigate everything alone.

By bringing these services together, Casakids helps ensure children receive well-rounded support while reducing stress on families and helping guide them through the process.

At its core, the program is about creating a path toward healing, stability, and justice for every child served.
