Therapy and Psychological Services: This program provides on-site therapy, off-site contract therapy, psychological assessments, and psychiatric evaluations to child survivors and their families. These services include all ranges of therapy modalities and assessments to ensure the children and their families can receive all the mental health care they need at the Children's Assessment Center (CAC).
Training and Children's Services: This program seeks to increase public awareness of child sexual abuse through presentations to schools, civic organizations, businesses, government organizations, faith-based organizations, and other social service organizations. Specifically, CACF provides age-appropriate training within schools to children, teachers, and administrators. The program also provides onsite services for children such as care between services, transition assistance, back-to-school drives and holiday parties.
Forensic Services: This program provides non-threatening, non-leading, trauma informed forensic digitally captured interviews along with clinical assessments for sexually abused children. Family advocates assist forensic services in the coordination of services among children's protective services, law enforcement, and legal professionals during the investigative stage of each case. This program also provides medical evaluations for investigations along with the overall care of the children and their families. The Multidisciplinary Team coordinates case intake and case review for cases referred to the CAC by CPS and law enforcement.
