MIDDLESEX CHILDREN’S ADVOCACY CENTER

Mission Statement

Children have the right to be safe and protected from harm

The Middlesex CAC is based upon the fundamental premise that children have the right to be safe and protected from harm. We are dedicated to minimizing secondary trauma to victims by streamlining the handling of child sexual abuse, serious child physical abuse, and child exploitation cases. Our multidisciplinary team approach reduces the number of investigative interviews and court appearances for the child, allows for services to be more quickly and effectively coordinated for the child and their non-offending family members, and ensures that the team has the appropriate information to reach a result in each case that is in the best interest of the child.

The Middlesex CAC is an accredited member of the National Children's Alliance.  The program is housed within and works in collaboration with the Middlesex District Attorney's Child Protection Unit.
