• Child Advocate

  • Apr 2022 - Present

  The Child Advocate is responsible for welcoming the child and non-offending family members to the Child Advocacy Center and creating a safe and supportive environment that is free of judgment. The Child Advocate typically conducts a pre-interview phone call to the non-offending caregiver to ease their anxieties and answers any questions or concerns. Once the family arrives at the CAC, the Child Advocate provides the child(ren) with an initial tour and orientation. Through direct follow-up the Child Advocate regularly monitors the safety of the child and reports any concerns to the investigating officer or caseworker should the support of the non-offending caregiver be diminished or the child’s safety compromised. The Child Advocate also provides immediate and ongoing education to the non-offending caregiver(s) on the dynamics of abuse and the coordinated multidisciplinary response.
