The children’s advocacy center is an offshoot of
projects begun by the Chatham County Child Sexual Abuse Task Force, a
group of professionals who began working together in 1984 to streamline
and coordinate services to victimized children. Task force members
represented law enforcement, mental health, education, child protective
services, juvenile court, the district attorney’s office, residential
services, and child and victim advocacy. In 1999, the group merged with
the Domestic Violence Task Force to form the Chatham County Family
Violence Council—which continues to advocate for victims of physical and
sexual violence, and to offer training and community education. |
