ABOUT OUR FORENSIC SERVICES:
The FCCAC is a child focused, home like facility that combines the resources and efforts of many local agencies and organizations to create a caring, effective team approach in dealing with victims of physical/sexual abuse and their families. This includes: Law Enforcement, Department of Family and Children Services, the District Attorney’s Office, Juvenile Court, the Victim Advocate’s Unit, Mental Health and Hospital representatives. The center provides the team the opportunity to discuss and make decisions about the investigation, treatment, and prosecution of child abuse cases. The team also works to prevent further victimization of children. This combined wisdom and professional knowledge ensures that the systems designed to protect children are able to do so, more timely and effectively. The Center provides tools for appropriate and successful handling of child victims of abuse through the criminal justice system. Holding perpetrators of abuse accountable to the victim and the community, along with rehabilitative support to the victim. The Advocacy Center offers the community many benefits, including more immediate follow up of child abuse cases, more efficient medical and mental health referrals, a reduction in the number of child victim interviews, increase successful prosecution and consistent support for child victims and supportive adults. At the Child Advocacy Center, the child’s needs come first. One in ten children will be sexually abused by the time they turn 18. The Forsyth CAC is here to start the healing process for these child victims of abuse. We are here to show them that it shouldn't hurt to be a child.
ABOUT OUR EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH PROGRAMS:
The FCCAC works with the Juvenile Court and the Department of Juvenile Justice to provide an educational Foundations program to teenagers in their system. This program teaches integrity, success, character, commitment, flexibility, and balance. The course is designed to hold individuals accountable for their actions and has a range of topics including how to handle stress and teaches how to control their anger through the holistic approach. The course features areas of drug abuse, high risk behavior (sex and suicide), conflict resolution, budgeting, bullying, nutrition, exercise, and how to develop the necessary skills for more effective family relationships, self-sustaining accountability, positive life experience and success within the court system. There is a coordinated Parenting Teens portion of this program to help assist families have some common ground to begin communicating better. We also offer other classes to the community such as Parenting 101, Co Parenting, Personal Finance, Mandated Reporting and Child Abuse Indicators, and Personal Growth Classes covering Stress Management, Anger Management, and Conflict Resolution. The CAC will soon offer Stewards of Children training to foster parents through Juvenile Court the Department of Family and Children Services.
