How Child Advocacy Centers Help KidsA 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.
