Child & Family Advocacy

advocacy

As advocates, our Center's mission is to work with children and their families to connect them to the resources in the community and to be a support system. Advocates are equipped to work with the family and to walk with them throughout the entirety of their case, and to be a comforting and knowledgeable presence by their side as they navigate the criminal justice system.
