Resources for Children’s Advocacy Centers (CACs)

We’ve partnered with CACs to develop resources that support practitioners and help child victims of abuse.

Resources for CAC Teams

These resources, which include informational fact sheets, video interviews, screening tools, and conversation scripts, are designed for advocates and health professionals at Children’s Advocacy Centers (CACs) — from nurses to police officers to concerned parents. Our goal is to support these professionals and caregivers so they can better serve the families and victims of abuse.

The resources combine the expertise of CAC professionals serving young victims of abuse with the knowledge and work of science-based researchers and academics at Culture Reframed. They include a focus on resources to help address the increasing incidence of child-on-child sexual abuse, specifically as it relates to pornography exposure.

These standardized protocols to address pornography’s effect on child sexual abuse are designed to fill a resource gap and support CACs and others as they care for children experiencing abuse. This new and innovative approach to addressing child sexual abuse incorporates an understanding and response to the harms of pornography exposure.

We believe that this work will raise awareness and shift the cultural narratives about the impact of porn on kids, as well as foster the institutional change necessary to improve child protection and safeguarding.

One of the biggest strengths and greatest opportunities that CACs offer for those of us who work for them is the ability to work with and communicate with multidisciplinary team members: law enforcement, child welfare professionals, prosecuting attorneys, agencies that serve victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
Dr. Amelia Siders, State Chapter Liaison, Western Regional Children’s Advocacy Center

When clinicians or parents see behavioral issues or problematic sexual behaviors in their patients or kids, nobody considers the role that pornography exposure plays. Therefore, we often miss the root cause of the issue.
Heidi Olson, Certified Pediatric Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE)
