Programs and Services: Children's Advocacy Center Program

Each year, too many children suffer from sexual abuse and severe physical abuse. Unfortunately, in their attempts to help protect child abuse victims, our criminal and civil justice systems can inadvertently cause additional suffering to child victims and their families.

The Children’s Advocacy Center program was established in Midland County in 1996 in an effort to protect the best interests of child victims of sexual abuse and/or severe physical abuse as their cases proceed through the investigation and prosecution stages and beyond.
