Values

Child first: We put the child first in all actions and decisions we make.
Integrity: We work to build trust and mutual respect with team members, clients and the community.
Equality: We believe every child who may have experienced severe abuse should have access to all services he or she needs.
Care: We provide care and compassion in all the work we do.
Hope: We believe all children can heal from the abuse they may have experienced. We are honored to help them along their healing journey.
Best practices: We strive to implement best practices in all the work we do in order to best serve the needs of the children and families.

​

Specific benefits to children of a Children's Advocacy Center are:
* Less trauma to the child due to a single interview
* More immediate follow-up to reported cases
* More efficient mental health and medical treatment
* Increased successful prosecution
* Consistent support for child victim(s) and the non-offending caregivers

We seek to improve the multi-disciplinary agency response to sexual and physical abuse of children and reduce the trauma they encounter. We aim to educate the community with knowledge and materials to prevent child abuse and work to increase Coffee County CAC's self-sufficiency through sound management and growth of our financial base. There is never a fee for our clients.
