Child abuse and trauma are painful difficult to process realities for anyone to face. When families come to a children’s advocacy center, they come with different life experiences, backgrounds, and needs. Having a dedicated trained professional to help them navigate complex systems like the criminal justice system and advocate for their needs, throughout the life of their case, can be validating and empowering.
Advocates help families make a plan for safety, set goals for healing, discuss common responses and behaviors related to childhood trauma, and provide crisis intervention and support services to help them find peace after trauma.
