    Summary

    The primary purpose of the CACS grant program is to coordinate the investigation of child abuse and neglect and to provide services to children and their non-offending family members without causing further trauma to the child victim. Child Advocacy Centers are dedicated to approaching victims of child abuse in a sensitive, respectful manner and to restoring the lives of abused children through partnerships with local communities and agencies investigating the prosecution of child abuse. This funding correlates with the Children and Youth Division's goals of increasing the wellbeing of Maryland's children and youth as well as addressing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the impact of childhood trauma.


    Child Advocacy Centers stress coordination of investigative and intervention services by bringing together professionals and agencies as a multi-disciplinary team to create a child-focused approach to child abuse cases. The main goal of all Child Advocacy Centers is to ensure that children are not traumatized by the very system designed to protect them.
