About MRCAC

Funded by the US Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, the Midwest Regional Children's Advocacy Center offers a full range of training and technical assistance to established and developing CACs.


The MRCAC operates in pursuit of several objectives that can be divided into five broad areas, as follows:
development of multi-disciplinary teams/CACs
coordination of training and technical assistance
promotion of public awareness and general education
process evaluation methods
exploration of the development of models for constituent involvement


The intent of our services is to assist new communities with program start-up and strengthen prospective and existing centers by supporting their passage through developmental stages. The goal of the intervention is to assure coordinated, non-traumatizing services to children and their families who are victims of abuse and neglect.

TRAINING

Training and technical assistance is provided by Midwest Regional Children's Advocacy Center to help establish and strengthen CACs in the 12 midwestern states that make up the Midwest Region. As we work with communities to develop their own community based centers, we seek to provide the best possible training to all members of the multidisciplinary response to child abuse.

The following trainings are sessions developed through the Midwest Regional Children's Advocacy Center. These sessions are organized and hosted in the Midwest, Northeast, Southern and Western regions:

Medical Training Academy
Court Preparation for the Medical and Legal Professional in Child Abuse
