Every year more than 1,500 children in Collier County face the trauma of abuse. Many arrive scared, confused, and unsure who to trust.

HOW WE HELP

The Collier CAC Difference

Serving the Most Vulnerable

Last year we helped over 1,400 children and their family members overcome the trauma associated with abuse.

Healing the Brokenhearted

312 children and their family members engaged in our therapeutic services, where children learned that they were not victims but rather survivors.

Seeking Justice for Child Victims

87% of the cases that go to trial end in convictions in part because of the great collaboration between our team, detectives, and the State Attorney’s Office.

Putting Families Back Together

91% of the parents who complete our Nurturing Parenting Program do not go on to become re-offenders.
