Cornerhouse guiding principles: How the lobby oreints children to the children’s advocacy center | Forensic Specialist team
Children’s Advocacy Centers (CACs) are an essential component of the response to child sexual abuse, physical abuse, and neglect.

Such efforts extend to every interaction with the children and caregivers at a CAC, including those at the front door and in our lobby.

Inclusive Healing: Trauma Support for Neurodivergent and Youth with Disabilities | Therapy Team
