Children’s Advocacy Center of SWFL

Join us this Wednesday for a presentation from Alicia Shannon, CEO of the Children’s Advocacy Center of Southwest Florida. During the meeting, the Rotary Club will present a check in support of the organization and hear an update on its impact and ongoing initiatives. We hope to see you there!

Founded in 1981, the mission of the Children’s Advocacy Center of Southwest Florida (CAC) is to provide a coordinated response to child victims of abuse and neglect and improve the lives of at-risk children and their families through prevention services. They assess and treat children believed to have been physically or sexually abused or to be at-risk of such abuse and provide a safe place for them to come and be heard. CAC offers abuse determination services, therapeutic counseling, parenting education, and prevention programs in Lee, Hendry, Glades, and Charlotte Counties. They are one of the largest children’s advocacy centers in the state of Florida and the only one in the four-county area. CAC is accredited by the National Children’s Alliance.
