Our Mission To The Community
The mission of the Southwest Mississippi Children’s Advocacy center is to provide a safe, non-threatening place for child victims and their families to receive a comprehensive array of services, which include the initial interview, court school preparation, referral services, and on-site therapy services for children who are victims.
Services available at the Center will be focused on providing victims and their families with treatment, education, and support, while effectively coordinating available community resources. The support, given to child victims helps to begin the recovery process and also facilitates their movement through the criminal justice system. The Center will strive to provide, in all of its programs and services, a community based response to the epidemic of child abuse through treatment and prevention of re-victimization.
