SRCAC Overview

The SOUTHERN REGIONAL CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER (SRCAC) was established through a grant to the National Children's Advocacy Center (NCAC) from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. SRCAC provides information, consultation and training and technical assistance, helping to establish child-focused programs that facilitate and support coordination among agencies responding to child abuse.

The SRCAC assists communities with the following:

  • Consulting and assessing their capacities to provide services.
  • Developing a comprehensive, multidisciplinary response to child abuse.
  • Establishing separate, child-friendly facilities for interviewing and providing services to child victims and their families.
  • Preventing or reducing trauma to children caused by multiple contacts with community professionals and involvement with the courts.
  • Increasing community understanding of child abuse.
  • Identifying and developing funding and marketing strategies.
  • Maintaining open communication and case coordination among community professionals and agencies involved in child protection efforts.
  • Enhancing the skills of professionals and volunteers who support child abuse intervention programs, such as the local Children's Advocacy Center.
  • Developing and negotiating interagency agreements and protocols.
