What We Do.
Safe, Child Focused Forensic Interviews.
We at CAC 31 offer a safe, welcoming and protected place for children to be heard and understood, where they can share their knowledge of an incident with a professional trained in child specific forensic investigation.
Victim-Family Advocacy
Our Victim-Family Advocates serve as a pass-through to assist individuals with gathering services needed for the betterment of their child's life, and their families life. We can provide care and resources until the child turns 18.
Trauma Informed Counseling
Our counselors are specialized in assessment and developing treatment plans specific to the needs of children who have been neglected, abused, or exposed to drug-related or violent crimes.
ABOUT US.
In October 2000, the Children’s Advocacy Center for the 31st Judicial District (CAC31) was founded by a local group of concerned individuals dedicated to helping the victims of child abuse become children again. We were established to aid in the prevention, intervention, investigation, and recovery of allegations of severe child maltreatment for children in Warren and Van Buren Counties, Tennessee.
​
Since our inception, well-trained personnel are dedicated to working with children reported as suspected victims of child sexual abuse, severe physical abuse or neglect, drug exposed, or witnesses to violence. We provide a full scope of needed services: child forensic interviews, victim-family advocacy, crisis intervention, trauma counseling, resource assistance, education, and outreach. The provision of all direct services is offered to families we assist, free from charge. Children’s Advocacy Center for the 31st Judicial District is a 501©3 non-profit that receives all of its funding through state grants from the State of Tennessee Department of Children's Services, Corporate Contributions, and the generosity of community partners and benefactors
