Children's Advocacy Center of Erie County

Dedicated to the Prevention of Child Abuse

The Children's Advocacy Center opened it's doors on June 1, 2001 to provide services to children in Erie County who have made allegations of sexual or physical abuse. Referrals to the CAC primarily come from the Office of Children and Youth and from the police. Children are interviewed at the Center in a child-friendly environment. The CAC was created to make the system easier for children to navigate, and to foster enhanced coordination and linkages between all the adult professional systems that come into play when a child is abused. The CAC is not a government organization. As a non-profit organization, it is totally reliant on grants, donations and fundraising events.
