About the Children’s Advocacy Center
The Children’s Advocacy Center coordinates the multidisciplinary response to child abuse in Southern Arizona. Through partnerships with law enforcement, Department of Child Safety, medical providers, prosecutors, and advocates, the Center provides a child-focused environment where children can safely share their story and receive the services they need to begin healing.
Founded in 1996, the Center has served thousands of children and families by providing forensic interviews, advocacy to the family, and connections to critical support services.
