This podcast explains how Child Advocacy Centers developed, what purpose they serve in helping child sexual abuse victims and their families, and how they work with investigative agencies in gathering evidence. Also discussed is the National Children's Advocacy Center located in Huntsville, Alabama, which was the very first CAC. Listeners are encouraged to go to the NCAC website and venture around.

There is so much more to learn about CAC's, which will be addressed in future podcasts.
