ABOUT US

ONCAC is THE statewide association for Children’s Advocacy Centers (CACs) in Ohio. Our members are composed of accredited and developing local CACs or developing multi-disciplinary team members. Our member CACs serve children throughout Ohio as well as the local professionals investigating and treating child sexual and physical abuse.​

​

​The CAC multidisciplinary approach that we champion leverages the strength of all disciplines involved in child sexual abuse investigations to minimize the trauma to child victims. Multidisciplinary teams are made up of children's services, law enforcement, medical providers, mental health services, prosecutors, and forensic interviewers. ONCAC is committed to building on existing resources to benefit multidisciplinary efforts across Ohio and to providing services tailored to the needs of each community we serve.

​

Our Vision

​

We envision a future where all children and families in Ohio have access to the full-array of high-quality CAC services within a reasonable distance of themselves.
