The Children’s Advocacy Center of Benton County is a nonprofit that provides a coordinated, multi-agency approach to the investigation, intervention, and treatment of child sexual and physical abuse.

Located in a restored, child-friendly house, CAC of Benton County provides a non-threatening, secure, child-friendly environment for the children and families we serve.

In addition to the CAC team of skilled professionals, our multidisciplinary team is comprised of:

• Municipal law enforcement agencies
• Arkansas Department of Children and Family Services
• Benton County Prosecutor’s Office

Case criteria for the Benton County multidisciplinary team include the most severe and complex cases of sexual and physical abuse of children up to age 18.

The CAC provides the leadership, volunteers and education to implement the multidisciplinary team approach.

Direct forensic interviewing and counseling services are provided by our highly-trained staff.

SANE is a registered nurse (R.N.) who has advanced educational and clinical preparation in forensic examination of sexual assault victims.

SANE programs address several problems in the medical-legal response to sexual assault victims in hospital emergency departments.

Funding for the Children’s Advocacy Center of Benton County is provided by individual and corporate contributions and special event revenue.
