The Penquis Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) offers a safe, child-focused space for children and non-offending caregivers when abuse is suspected. Using a coordinated, evidence-based approach, a multidisciplinary team conducts a single comprehensive forensic interview to minimize trauma and streamline investigations. The CAC provides victim-centered advocacy and connects families to medical, mental health, and legal support, ensuring timely, compassionate care. With welcoming facilities and strong community partnerships, the CAC promotes healing, safety, and resilience for children and families.
