Child advocacy services help children on their journey to healing. Every day the remarkable people who work at our CACs coordinate services, interview children and advocate on behalf of victims’ rights.
In Illinois, our vision is simple: to ensure every child in the state has access to the services offered through a CAC. While we cannot stop abuse, we can make a significant impact through prevention education and the multidisciplinary services provided to children who have suffered its effects.
