Fox Valley Child Advocacy Center
The Child Advocacy Center is open for medical evaluations and forensic interviews. We are asking all professional MDT partners to wear a mask when at the CAC and we are asking patients and caregivers to wear a mask when they come in for their appointment. The Community Services office is physically closed until further notice. Staff from this office are available via phone and are working virtually.
The Fox Valley Child Advocacy Center, located in Appleton at Children's Appleton Clinic, brings together a specially trained team of professionals to investigate cases of child maltreatment. The CAC is a child-focused location that provides comprehensive services in the form of specialized medical exams, forensic interviews, advocacy services and health screenings for children in out of home placements. Through extensive services, the CAC enables children and their families to heal from abuse and advocates for safe and secure living environments.
The Fox Valley Child Advocacy Center is a member of National Children's Alliance, the national association and accrediting body for Children's Advocacy Centers.
