Child Advocacy Centers- Part of your Youth Protection Toolbox, No Matter How Full it is
Criminal justice systems are often seen as intimidating and confusing. During this presentation, we will discuss the roles of Child Advocacy Centers (CACs) and multidisciplinary teams (MDT) and how they support the family through the process. We will discuss a brief history of CACs, the forensic interview process, role of the MDT members, and how it relates to our role at the colleges/universities.
Stay tuned for registration information.
