We believe that adult survivors of abuse need support and education
and that the community should be educated on issues related to child
abuse and neglect.
The child and family friendly atmosphere is inviting and comfortable.
You and your child will be given a tour and a thorough explanation of
the procedures of the Advocacy Center prior to the child's interview.
There will be many questions and we invite you to call or meet with
our family advocate at anytime.
The Children's Advocacy Center is child centered in it's concepts and
values; and with the multidisciplinary team and the community. works
diligently at the child's best interests at all times. The Center is
open from 8:00 to 4:30 Monday through Friday and is linked with on call
services for evening and weekend emergencies.

The
Children's Advocacy Center is dedicated to serving the best interests of abused
and neglected children through the programs of the Children's Advocacy Center.
We believe that all children should be free of abuse and neglect. That all
children should have the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential
in a safe and loving home environment. That it is the best interest of abused
and neglected children to have a multidisciplinary team serve on their behalf
and that the best interest of the children is to have collaboration among
agencies working on the behalf of the child. We believe that abused and neglected
children deserve a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) to help the courts
determine their best interests.
