Please join us in making a difference in a child's life! We are raising funds to help support the Child Advocacy Center for the 23rd Judicial District (23rd CAC) and every donation helps make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to our communities.
The 23rd CAC serves five counties in Middle Tennessee; Cheatham, Dickson, Houston, Humphreys, and Stewart. Their mission is to provide a child-friendly center where victims of child abuse and their non-offending caregivers can obtain comprehensive services and referrals to community partners to aid in their recovery. The 23rd CAC has three main areas of focus; investigations, advocacy, and therapy. In support of this effort the 23rd CAC works to unite public, private and community partners to ensure the safety, health and well-being of abused children.

This is the 23rd CAC's service dog, Pavlov. Pavlov comforts the children during their Forensic Interviews and when they have to testify in court. It's such a scary experience for these children but Pavlov helps them to be strong.
