Helping is our mission

Children who have been victims of abuse need people who care for them as people, not as case files. Children and their families receive this care and concern at the Macon County Child Advocacy Center.

Here is a safe child-friendly place where children are interviewed. They find a home-like atmosphere, away from the cold intimidating walls of the police station.

The Center staff help connect the child and family with other community services if they need medical care follow-up or counseling.
Families receive advocacy services to prepare for and understand the court process.

Staff also helps with:

• Orders of Protection
• Crisis Intervention
• Victim Compensation
• Case information
• Safety needs

Executive Director, Jean Moore, and Family Case Coordinator, Michelle Hotwick, educate the community about preventing, recognizing, and reporting child abuse.
