MISSION: The mission of the Children's Advocacy Center of Comal County is to provide a neutral, child-friendly agency to the community that facilitates a multidisciplinary approach in the prevention, detection, investigation and treatment of child abuse. COMPANY OVERVIEW: Before the Children's Advocacy Center of Comal County (the CACCC) was created, children who had been abused in Comal County, Texas were taken to many different places to be interviewed by investigators. Often a child would need to tell his or her story to a police officer, a child protective services worker, and an assistant district attorney, all the while being shuttled back and forth from one institutional and sometimes intimidating environment to another. The Children’s Advocacy Center of Comal County was created so that children who had been abused could come to a single place to be interviewed one time so that the number of interviews a child had to experience would be minimized as much as possible. Investigators watch the interview being done by a professional, objective forensic interviewer as it is being recorded. Additionally, the CACCC has a home-like environment, complete with a playroom to make children feel more comfortable. Further, the CACCC has an important role in coordinating the agencies who deal with child abuse cases by facilitating monthly multidisciplinary team (the MDT) meetings. At the MDT meetings, all abuse cases in the County are discussed and team members make certain that the appropriate services have been provided to both the child and the family.
