Child Advocacy Center for the 23rd Judicial District

The Child Advocacy Center (CAC) for the 23rd Judicial District's mission is to provide a child-friendly center where victims/alleged victims of child abuse and their non-offending caregivers can obtain comprehensive services provided by the CAC and referrals to community partners to aid in their recovery. In support of this effort the 23rd CAC works to unite public, private and community partners to ensure the safety, health and well-being of abused children. The CAC was formed in July 2005 to provide services such as: forensic interviews, case management, victim advocacy, counseling and court support to victims of child abuse and their families. This CAC was developed according to the guidelines and best practices of the National Children's Alliance, which afforded us accreditation as a member in 2009.
