Advocacy Services

Advocacy Services
The role of the family advocate is to support the family as they navigate the forensic interview and medical process. These processes are a part of a much larger criminal investigative process. When a family comes to the CAC they are greeted by an advocate and caregivers have the opportunity to meet with an advocate one-on-one to learn about different services and resources available. Advocacy services include:
  • Crisis intervention
  • Individual support
  • Referrals to counseling services
  • Referrals to forensic medical exams
  • Additional referrals as needed  
  • Information about community resources
  • Information about victim rights and the criminal justice process 
  • Assistance applying for victim’s compensation
  • Support group for non-offending caregivers
  • Follow-up services
 

​
The mission of the Family Resource Center is the prevention of child abuse in all its forms:
​physical, sexual, emotional, and neglect in Gordon County, Georgia.
