MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAMSouthwest Mississippi Children's Advocacy Center serves as a representative on Multidisciplinary Teams (MDT) in 5 counties: Amite, Copiah, Lincoln, Pike and Walthall.
The MDT is a dedicated group of agencies that work to reduce trauma for children during the investigation and prosecution of child abuse related crimes. The MDT is committed to serving children and families through the utilization of the child-first protocol, which focuses on solutions that are in the best interest of the child. Once a month, the MDT in each county will meet to discuss solutions and next steps for cases. |
