Centeralizes all the experts who must talk to the child. Children now need to come to only one place to talk to those investigating their abuse. They are interviewed by a forensic interviewer who has been specifically trained in this area. All interviews are recorded. The investigation is streamlined, information is shared and decisions are based on more expert information. In addition, services such as medical evaluations and counseling are coordinated via the CAC. As a result, children are able to begin their healing process faster. Disciplines work together to conduct interviews and make team decisions about investigation, treatment, management and prosecution of child abuse. A multidisciplinary team approach brings all of the disciplines together to offer comprehensive services to children and their non-offending family members. In addition, the CAC believes it's important to provide our community with the tools and resources to prevent child abuse and neglect. Community awareness and presentations provided by the CAC are devised to increase awareness of abuse, prevention, provide parent education, and provide safety information to families and children. Our trained facilitators provide free Stewards of Children Workshops. Adults that attend will learn new skills to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to child sexual abuse.
