CAC coordinates the investigation of child abuse allegations and provides victims of abuse a place to tell their story ONE TIME in a comfortable and safe setting at one of our inviting locations. Our goal is always to minimize trauma and maximize the opportunity for healing to begin.  Before the existence of CACs, children were expected to relive their story of sexual or physical abuse over and over again.  Each year the CAC helps over 1,000 children and families. With help from our Master’s-level therapists, these children and families can begin to heal in a safe environment.
