Kindred Kids Child Advocacy Center (CAC) is a community-based, child-friendly, and trauma-informed organization that coordinates a multidisciplinary response to child abuse and neglect allegations. Child Advocacy Center’s deliver a best practice model that bring together, in one location, law enforcement investigators, child protection caseworkers, forensic interviewers, prosecutors, family advocates, and medical and mental health professionals to provide a coordinated, comprehensive response to children and their caregivers. Kindred Kids CAC provides a safe, neutral environment for children and their families where the child’s well-being is a priority.

​

At Kindred Kids Child Advocacy Center, children are able to speak to a trained forensic interviewer who understands child development, is non-bias, and knowledgeable in addressing secondary trauma and other best practices for interviewing children. The goals of conducting a forensic interview are to engage in a conversation about event(s) a child may have experienced, assess the child’s safety, assess the need for medical and/or mental health care, and minimize the number of times the child talks about the events or experiences.

​

Kindred Kids Child Advocacy Center's mission is to empower and strengthen victims who have experienced abuse and their non-offending family members through advocacy, education, healing, and justice. Kindred Kids CAC establishes a safe, child-focused environment for forensic interviews, medical evaluations, and continued support through advocacy.

Kindred Kids Child Advocacy Center is nationally accredited through the National Children's Alliance.
