Our Mission

It is almost impossible to prevent sexual abuse from occurring since the abuser is often someone the child knows and may even be a member of the family. One of the best ways to protect children is through education. While we may not be able to prevent sexual abuse from occurring, it is our goal to prevent it from continuing and to educate adults in handling a child’s disclosure with sensitivity. We are continually looking for ways to increase awareness of child abuse. To request a speaker for your group or organization, contact the CAC at (618) 296-5390.
