A Bridge to Hope and Healing
There is Hope
All Kentucky children have access to one of our 15 Children’s Advocacy Centers. Each CAC provides specialized child friendly interviews, medical exams, therapy, and advocacy to children entering the justice system as part of an investigation of abuse.
When Law Enforcement or Child Protective Services believes a child has been abused they may refer the child to one of Kentucky’s 15 CACs.
Our Impact
Last year, CACs in Kentucky served over 7,400 children from all 120 counties across the state. Children who receive services from a CAC are more likely to receive the medical and mental health services they need to help them heal from their abuse. Kentucky CACs provide over 12,000 mental health sessions to clients and non-offending caregivers each year.
