What We Do

At the Chadwick Center for Children & Families, we believe every child and family deserves to feel safe and supported after experiencing a scary or traumatic event.  Our goal is to help them move toward healing.

As one of the nation’s largest hospital-based Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) and trauma treatment centers, we provide family-focused, trauma-informed services to children and adolescents who may have experienced or witnessed maltreatment, abuse or violence.

Our multidisciplinary team (MDT), also known as the Child Protection Team (CPT), includes compassionate professionals from law enforcement, child protection, prosecution, mental health, medical, family advocacy and other CAC staff and community partners.  Together, we deliver a coordinated, comprehensive response that minimizes the need for children to share their stories multiple times, ensuring they receive the care and support they need to heal.
