About Us

---

The Children's Advocacy Center of Cherokee County was founded in 1999, out of concern for the well being of abused children as their cases moved through the legal system.

Prior to CAC’s founding, young victims of abuse and neglect had to endure multiple interviews and interactions with social, legal and law enforcement agencies. It was an exhausting and traumatic process as the children were asked to repeatedly share the painful details of their cases to different members of the investigative team.

Every day, children victimized by abuse come to the Children's Advocacy Center where they find caring professionals and community partners who dedicate themselves to helping them through the nightmare of abuse and neglect. The CAC is a child focused facility designed to be a comfortable and safe for the children and families we serve. Our services are provided at no cost to our children and their supportive family members. Within the center, families find support, resources, and most importantly a place where healing begins. 

The CAC's vision is for a community where children are safe, families are strong and our child victims become children again.
