The innocence of a child can be broken in just a few moments. When that child is thrust into an adult world involving police interviews, therapy and court proceedings, the Edmondson-Telford Child Advocacy Center works to lessen the pain. The center helps children who are the victims of sexual or severe physical abuse or neglect. It provides a place for forensic interviews and examinations, emotional support for victims and their loving caregivers, training opportunities and advocacy for children in myriad ways. All of its services are free.
