Advocacy
Our Family Advocacy team supports non-offending caregivers and family members from the moment a child makes an outcry of abuse. Advocates help families understand the investigation process, provide crisis support, and connect them with community resources such as counseling, medical care, emergency assistance, and Crime Victims Compensation.
Advocates also conduct brief crisis and trauma screenings to identify immediate emotional or safety needs and ensure families receive timely support.
As families navigate systems like CPS, law enforcement, and the courts, advocates stay involved to answer questions, offer emotional support, and help reduce stress during a difficult time. By supporting caregivers, we strengthen the child’s safety, stability, and long-term healing.
