What Is a Child Advocacy Center?

Traditionally, children are moved from agency to agency and endure multiple interviews, which creates additional trauma. A child advocacy center (CAC) turns that model upside down by providing one safe, child-friendly facility where child protection, criminal justice, and child treatment professionals work together to investigate abuse, hold offenders accountable, and help children heal.

Why the CAC Model Works.

The MCCAC was able to provide help to 147 new children in 2015. Because our model makes children and families feel safer, we’re seeing more child victims of abuse walk through our doors each year.

Our Team Sets Us Apart

The MCCAC’s staff of experienced professionals are dedicated to helping children heal from abuse in Monongalia County. We are equally supported by our Board of Directors and volunteers who are committed to our mission and bring a variety of vital professional expertise and experience to the organization.
