ONE CHILD. ONE STORY. ONE PLACE.
ONE CHILD. ONE STORY. ONE PLACE.
Once the Child Advocacy Center receives a referral on a child abuse case, the child is assigned a Victim Advocate. Often times, the discovery of child abuse throws a family into crisis. The Victim Advocate’s role is to help the non-offending parent or caregiver manage that crisis.
Victim Advocates provide support, assistance and advocacy through every step of the child’s case, from the moment he or she enters our center until the family no longer needs our help.
As members of the Multidisciplinary Team, Victim Advocates help facilitate information sharing between law enforcement, DFCS, and other agencies involved in the investigation. Victim Advocates also play an important role in connecting children and their non-offending parents or caregivers with access to the services they need to get through their crisis including medical, mental health, housing, protective orders and other assistance.
