The North Central Missouri Children's Advocacy Center was established in January of 2003, in response to a need for a child-friendly environment in which to interview children who have been the victims of abuse. One of the primary goals of the center is to prevent the re-victimization of children by reducing the number of interviews the child has to go through during an investigation.
The center is funded by a contract from the Children's Division, and by donations from local individuals and organizations.
Our multi-disciplinary team consists of individuals from law enforcement, children’s division, mental health, medical personnel, prosecuting attorneys, and juvenile officers. Coordinated efforts of this team provide victims and their families with legal, medical, and social services to deal with the trauma of abuse.
