It is a child-centered setting where children who are abused come to tell their
stories. Professionals from The Child Protection Team of Brevard, the
Department of Children & Families, Local Law Enforcement, The Brevard County
Sheriff's Office, Mental Health Professionals and the Office of the State
Attorney work together, under one roof, to effectively resolve child abuse
cases.
Healing the Hurt of Child Abuse
In the past, child abuse victims were subjected to numerous interviews as
information was gathered about their case. Victims were shuttled from
agency-to-agency, often having to recount their traumatic experiences to
numerous strangers. The agencies involved did not always communicate
effectively, making cooperation difficult at best. Clients were given
conflicting information, cases were lost or dropped, and families were falling
through the cracks.
Not Today! Now families have the Children's Advocacy Center of Brevard.
