Protecting the children of the Mississippi Delta
Delta Children's Advocacy Center is a nonprofit 501 C3. All of our services are free of charge for children and nonoffending caregivers.
At a local child advocacy center, a child can relate his or her experience of abuse one time, in one place. Rather than being shuffled between doctors, police, counselors, and child advocates, the model strives to bring these professionals together while minimizing trauma to the victim. We strive to provide a comfortable, child-friendly environment where a child can feel safe telling what has happened to him or her.
The overriding benefit of the child advocacy center model is that the case investigations are coordinated from the onset. They begin more timely, fewer cases are missed, families receive appropriate referrals for the proper medical exams, children receive evidence-based therapy sooner and the CAC collaborative model reduces duplication of resources.
Our Mission
Delta Children's Advocacy Center's mission is to respond to child abuse in the Mississippi Delta by serving and nurturing children and nonoffending caregivers through a trauma-informed, multidisciplinary approach.
We believe every child in the Mississippi Delta deserves to feel safe, advocated for, and given protective care, free of charge.
