Child abuse victims are interviewed on videotape to reduce the stress associated with multiple interviews.

Child abuse cases are reviewed and monitored by a team of professionals from law enforcement, the Department of Human Resources, the District Attorney's Office, mental health, medicine, and our Center. These professionals work together to ensure that the child's needs are met.

Child victims and their non-offending family members are provided counseling services at the West Alabama Children's Advocacy Center,  and referrals to off-site counselors as requested.

Child victims are familiarized with the activities of a court room and are prepared to participate in court as needed.

Multi-disciplinary team members work together to gather evidence, investigate charges of sexual and/or severe physical abuse, and to prepare cases for prosecution.
