32 November 2020 876 cases of reported child abuse were referred to the CAC, a 20% increase from the past year. 494 forensic interviews were conducted at the center, a 22% increase from the past fiscal year. 474 families received Victim Family Advocate services, providing direct aid as well as assisting them in accessing needed resources, an 18% increase from the previous fiscal year. The Child Advocacy Center is a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization and relies upon our generous donors to help fund our programs. You can join hands with the CAC to protect children and stop abuse by making a one-time gift or recurring donation. Our purpose is to alleviate the trauma children experience once a disclosure of sexual abuse or serious physical abuse occurs by creating a community of collaborating advocates. 19 DAYS OF CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION From November 1-19, CAC will launch a community outreach campaign, No-Sew Blanket Frenzy and Champion for Children Awards. The goal of the 19 Days of Child Abuse Prevention is to increase commitment, activities and education and to mobilize communities throughout the world around child abuse prevention.
