About This Cause

JACY House is a Child Advocacy Center (CAC) where we use a Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) approach to explore concerns of child abuse. We work with local law enforcement, Department of Child Services (DCS), and prosecutor's office to gather information about whether or not a child has been exposed to abuse. We work to provide a CHILD FIRST approach by working to reduce the amount of stress children and their families experience during allegations of abuse. We do this by having well trained Forensic Interviewers and Child and Family Advocates, providing a safe and welcoming environment for families, and making the child feel comfortable while gathering information in a neutral, supportive and developmentally appropriate way. We also have Community Educators on staff that teach the community about child abuse by going to the classes in the surrounding schools and holding educational classes for parents/caregivers.
