Our Mission
Our goal is really quite simple — to protect and uphold the rights of children when wrongs have been committed against them, to help abused or neglected children have safe permanent homes where they can thrive, to act as a powerful voice in these children's best interests and to educate the public about the plight of abused children.
About Advocacy Network for Children
Advocacy Network for Children has two distinct programs. The Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) program and the Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children (CASA) program. The CAC program provides a safe, neutral, child-friendly environment where a child victim of sexual abuse or serious physical abuse and their non-offending family meet with the members of a multidisciplinary team of professions for the purpose of investigation. CAC staff provides advocacy services and bridges the gap between social services, law enforcement, and the court system. CASA recruits, trains, and supervises volunteers who speak in the best interest of abused or neglected children in the court system.
