Healing Hearts
Presented by WT Group
The Healing Hearts Campaign is a community movement that aims to spread awareness about CAC's services in the 38 communities we serve, and raise money for our life changing services for children and families who have suffered abuse.
Our Services
CAC is the leading resource when it comes to child abuse. From the Forensic Interview to the last therapy session, CAC works with our clients to ensure they are building resiliency in order to live a healthy life.
Our extensively trained FAS team supports a child and family through the legal process of the abuse investigation. We coordinate with local law enforcement, State’s Attorney's Office and DCFS to conduct
Forensic Interviews that limit trauma and collect all necessary information to proceed with the case. Advocates support families and connect them to medical, mental health and other community services.
Our Master’s-level therapists meet families during their highest level of crisis. We connect with them through compassion and empathy.
Our team creates a fully comprehensive and individualized plan to help put the pieces of the family's life back together.
Our SFTS program is unlike any other in the area. We offer free therapy for children birth-5 who have experienced violence in their households. These children are often overlooked, but we make their care a priority. Our team helps the most vulnerable population by listening to them, believing them and helping them process trauma.
Our Numbers
Over the last 30 years we've empowered and healed children and families in 38 communities who have experienced abuse and helped prevent violence against children.
