Friends of the
Monmouth County Child Advocacy Center, Inc.,. is a not-for-profit,
501(c)(3) organization established in 2003 to raise the funds to build a child
advocacy center in Monmouth County. The child advocacy center will serve as a
safe, child-friendly facility for the victims of child abuse, neglect, and
assault and their caregivers.
This one centralized facility co-locates the
professionals who provide the law enforcement, mental health, medical, victim
advocacy, and prosecutorial services, resulting in a more coordinated response
and investigation into reports of child abuse. The children need only travel to
one location to tell their story, greatly reducing their trauma and stress.
Without a centralized facility, the children of our county must travel to
various locations to access these services.
With the creation of the MCCAC,
the child and their families will find a private and compassionate location and
will be less overwhelmed by the investigative and criminal processes. The
result will be fewer recantations in their testimony and the beginning of their
healing.
We believe the children of Monmouth County deserve
nothing less! |

Friends of the Monmouth County Child Advocacy Center is a true
private/public partnership. The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders has
designated the site on Kozloski Road in Freehold for the center. Friends will
raise the funds necessary to construct the building. Once built, the operating
costs and building maintenance will be the responsibility of the
County.
