Foothills Child Advocacy Center is a child-friendly setting that provides a safe space for child victims of abuse and assault to talk about their experience. The purpose of a CAC is to provide a well-coordinated, multidisciplinary team response to allegations of child abuse or victimization. We conduct a forensic interview, coordinate the multidisciplinary team and provide case management services to children and their non-offending family members or guardians.

 

Our Vision:

All children are entitled to be safe, healthy, nurtured and valued. Foothills Child Advocacy Center envisions a unified and just community whose members are knowledgeable about and invested in assuring that all child victims receive the benefit of a range of services available in the community.

 

Our Mission:

Foothills Child Advocacy Center will provide a system where intervention and prosecution in cases of child abuse/neglect and victimization are well-coordinated and effective in a child and family friendly environment which is as non-traumatic to children as possible and which contributes to prevention of child victimization and the safety of all children.

 

Our Goals:

  • For all victims of child sexual abuse, assault and or victimization as well as severe physical abuse cases to be referred to the CAC for a forensic interview.
  • To have Forensic Medical exams conducted on site.
  • In house therapy for victims and nonoffending family members.
  • To present the Stewards of Children Prevention Program to all parents and professionals who work with children in order to provide information about child abuse, assault and victimization.
