Mountain Child Advocacy Center provides child abuse prevention education to adults and 10,000 school children in Buncombe County, and hundreds of child abuse victims receive trauma-informed, evidence-based treatment every year. Sadly, each year, the need grows. Your support will help Mountain Child Advocacy Center provide hope, help, and healing for abused children and their non-offending family members. Mountain CAC works tirelessly serving the children of Buncombe County in our mission to identify & respond to child abuse and neglect; by educating, advocating, and empowering the public to protect children and reduce trauma through a coordinated community effort.
“We are so fortunate to live in a community that values our children, and supports efforts toward making sure that every child has a happy, healthy and thriving life every day,” Geoff Sidoli Executive Director.
Mountain Child Advocacy Center is the National Children’s Alliance accredited children’s advocacy agency providing education, prevention, advocacy and intervention services for abused children in Buncombe County. Child Advocacy Centers bring the “system” to children. Mountain CAC provides a comfortable space at Mission Children’s Hospital for representatives from the agencies that are naturally involved in the process to interact with the children in one child-friendly location, as well as to collaborate on effective, efficient and child-centered casework.
Mountain CAC is setting the standard for the prevention and treatment of child abuse and neglect. Annually, it reaches over 9,000 school children with research-based personal safety classes. Furthermore, highly skilled therapists provide trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches when treating children with trauma symptoms. The center also offers adult classes and child/family advocacy.
