Who is Advocating for Children Under Six? Uncovering Unmet Needs in Child Advocacy Centers
Evidence suggests that children under the age of 6 years are affected by trauma, yet there are few studies available to determine how well their needs are addressed in the mental health system. Child Advocacy Centers (CACs) offer a promising avenue for expanding the system of care for very young children exposed to sexual and/or physical abuse. This study used a mixed-methods approach to examine the type and extent of CAC services for very young children in one state. To find out the results of this study, enter the title in the CALiO™Collections search box.

Did you know?
Researchers found that the number of abductions of children by strangers and slight acquaintances remained virtually the same between 1997 and 2011 (115 in 1997 and 105 in 2011); however, in 2011, a smaller portion of these incidents ended in victim homicide (8 percent in 2011 versus 40 percent in 1997). Kidnappings involving 92 percent of child victims in 2011 ended in the recovery of the child alive, compared with 57 percent of victims in 1997. Read more from the OJJDP Bulletin.
