About The Children's Advocacy Center of DeKalb County
For children who have been abused, knowing there are sensitive and responsive adults who will help can make all the difference in the world. The Children’s Advocacy Center of DeKalb County provides multidisciplinary teams of professionals to serve that very purpose. These are adults who recognize the hurt of abuse and have dedicated themselves to providing help and protection without causing further suffering. The goal is for every child to experience the sweetness and innocence of childhood without pain, abuse, and emotional trauma. The reality is many children are robbed of this experience because of the actions of others – a fact that creates the need for the Children’s Advocacy Center.
The Children’s Advocacy Center of DeKalb County brings together all pieces of the multidisciplinary team to one child-friendly, neutral location so that one interview can be conducted and all relevant parties are represented. Everyone’s questions are asked and the child only has one investigative interview conducted by a trained child forensic interviewer. The Children’s Advocacy Center seeks to provide the best possible environment for children and to prevent future abuse through outreach and education.
