Victim Advocacy

 

These services are designed to give support and education to families in a one-on-one setting. While the child is in their interview, the advocate has the opportunity to work with the non-offending caregiver to find services and resources that fit their current needs.

  • Greeting child and non-offending caregiver at the door and getting them comfortable and relaxed while at the CAC.


  • Providing child and non-offending caregiver with information about what takes place while at the CAC.


  • Provide parties with information about different resources and services in their area. i.e. mental health therapy, food, clothing, housing, etc.


  • Provide emotional support to the child and non-offending caregiver during and after their visit to the CAC.


  • Follow up contact with the non-offending caregiver to ensure that they are receiving services and resources as needed.


  • Being a consistent contact for the child and non-offending caregiver throughout the process of the investigation.
