ChicagoCAC and our partners are the city’s front-line responders to reports of child sexual abuse.

We provide children with a safe place to share their story in their own words with experts who will listen to them, protect them and help them heal.

We are part of a multi-disciplinary team of experts from the following partners, who are co-located in our facility:

  • Illinois Department of Children & Family Services
  • Chicago Police Department
  • Lurie Children’s Hospital
  • Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office
