We provide children and their non-offending parent/caregiver with appropriate mental health, medical, and other resources in our district.

Our Journey

Many years ago, a group of citizens decided to start the journey of establishing a Child Advocacy Center in our Judicial District. This group established the 15th Judicial District Child Advocacy Center as a non-profit 501c3 governed by a Board of Directors. Since 2008, we have grown to better support children and families. Initially, our team consisted of a single employee and a contractual forensic interviewer. Today, we have expanded into a dedicated and diverse team that includes an experienced Executive Director who oversees our operations, two skilled Forensic Interviewers who conduct sensitive interviews with children, a compassionate Family Advocate who provides essential support and resources to families. This growth reflects our commitment to providing comprehensive care and support to those in need, ensuring that every child and family receives the attention and assistance they deserve.
