Children’s Advocacy Centers (commonly referred to as CACs) provide a safe, supportive, and child-friendly environment where children who have experienced abuse or trauma can receive comprehensive care. CACs bring together professionals from law enforcement, child protective services, medical professionals, and mental health specialists to provide a coordinated response. CACs offer forensic interviews, counseling, and support to help children heal while ensuring their safety and seeking justice.

Rape Crisis Centers (commonly referred to as RCCs) are organizations that provide confidential support, advocacy, and resources to survivors of sexual assault.
