Overview
The Child Advocacy Center is a non-profit organization providing a safe, child friendly location for conducting forensic interviews and medical evaluations for abused children in Southeast Nebraska.
Through the efforts of our Board of Directors, staff and volunteers, the Child Advocacy Center has established itself as an organization that can and does make a difference for children and families in our community.
As a staff, we respect the courage it takes for a child to tell and nothing is more important for us than creating an environment that is safe and supportive. We understand that what we do matters.
We also recognize that we work as part of a team with law enforcement, Health and Human Services, medical personnel, mental health providers and prosecutors. We strive to operate in a work environment that is marked by honest, responsible, and open communication. As a team, our aim is to support each other in a very difficult job.
