Breaking the Cycle of Child Abuse for 25 Years

Our Mission

A comprehensive, child-friendly facility where professionals from law enforcement, medical, child protection and therapeutic services effectively collaborate to meet the individual needs of child victims and break the cycle of abuse. 


Our Values

Our Vision

A compassionate community where families thrive, children are safe, and victims receive the resources they need to heal. 

If you suspect a child is being abused or neglected, call your local law enforcement agency or the Florida Abuse Hotline at 1-800-96-ABUSE.


The Child Advocacy Center provides a safe space for children during an active child abuse investigation process.
