West Alabama Childrens Advocacy Center Inc

On-site counseling - child victims and their non-offending family members are provided counseling services at the west alabama children's advocacy center, and refered to off-site counselors as requested. Our counseling service provided 269 sessions to victims of abuse and non-offending family members. Most counseling sessions have started within 10 days of the referral. Counseling and forensic interviews are performed at all locations by appointment. The staff moves between locations as needed. Administrative functions are handled at the lamar county center to reduce overall cost.

Community programs - age appropriate child safety education is normally provided each year to approximately 300-500 k-3rd grade school children in our area using our puppet show and other presentations.
