Healing, Safety and Justice in the Face of Child Abuse
When child abuse is disclosed, families and caregivers may wonder where to turn, how the legal process works, and how their family will be supported. That is where the Children's Advocacy Center of Jefferson County (CAC) and the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) come in. With CAC, professionals come to the child/family-rather than the child/family having to seek disparate, uncoordinated services in the midst of their trauma. The CAC and MDT provide a collaborative response to child abuse investigations. Providing local resources to child victims and their families reduces trauma and facilitates healing.
