Our Purpose & Mission

We are A Child's Voice Child Advocacy Center, Inc.

A Child’s Voice exists to strengthen the coordinated community response to situations of child maltreatment, including sexual abuse, physical abuse, and witness to abuse and homicide, by integrating the existing resources of law enforcement, child protection, prosecution, medical and therapeutic agencies, so that perpetrators are held accountable for their actions and children are protected. A Child’s Voice also exists to facilitate and support agencies, organizations, and individuals whose efforts are directed towards abuse prevention.

A Child's Voice is a non-profit organization that provides: forensic interviews by specially trainied interviewers; forensic medical examinations (when needed) utilizing telemedicine with Chidren's Healthcare of Atlanta; family advocacy services; and community outreach, including trainings and education.

The Children's Advocacy Center model utilizes teamwork and coordination between all agencies involved in the case, while keeping the child first. The model prevents the child from having to experience mulitple interviews with all agencies involved and allows for ongoing case tracking to ensure quality services.

Our main focus is the child.

Our center is designed to meet the needs of children for whom allegations of sexual and/or physical abuse have been reported. We work to protect the children by gathering valuable information in a child friendly setting. See pictures of our center here. A Child's Voice is a facility supplied with state-of-the-art equipment that enables specially trained professionals to conduct effective, consistent, non-threatening forensic interviews and medical examinations of children who have made these allegations. 

We operate under the supervision of our Board of Directors and Executive Director, Nancy S. Burgess, MSW.
