The Children's Advocacy Center of Lowndes County, Inc. (CAC) is a community resource center created to minimize the trauma of child victims of abuse by responding to their immediate and long term needs in a child friendly, safe environment.
The CAC offers a facility based program where representatives from law enforcement, child protective services, prosecution, mental health, and the medical community collaborate to investigate, treat and prosecute child abuse cases. Using a multi-agency team approach, we work together to prevent further victimization of the child.
