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 REACHH-CAC was able to provide help to almost 100 children in 2014-2015. 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 REACHH-CAC’s staff of experienced professionals are dedicated to helping children heal from abuse in Summers County. We are equally supported by our Board of Directors — volunteers who are committed to our mission and bring a variety of vital professional expertise and experience to the organization.

We are always looking for experienced individuals who are passionate about fighting the cycle of abuse and creating a safer community for our children.
