The Children's Advocacy Center of East Central Illinois is a non-profit organization dedicated to making a difference in the lives of sexually and physically abused children in Clark, Coles, Cumberland, Douglas, Edgar, Effingham, Fayette, Jasper, Moultrie, and Shelby Counties. They provide comprehensive services at no cost to child victims and their families, ensuring support and care regardless of race, color, religion, or other protected class.
With a child-focused approach, the center offers a safe environment where children can share their experiences with trained interviewers, avoiding the need to repeat their traumatic stories multiple times. A multidisciplinary team consisting of medical professionals, law enforcement, mental health experts, and victim advocates collaborates to develop a plan that best meets the needs of each child and their family. Through therapy, medical exams, courtroom preparation, and other services, the center aims to minimize the additional pain caused by the investigative process and provide a caring place for children to heal.
