About Us

The non-profit Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) fosters the idea that no one agency or professional alone can prevent and treat the problem of child abuse – a coordinated response is necessary.  With the creation of Tyler’s Justice Center for Children, children in Carroll, Jo Daviess and Stephenson Counties, who were victims of sexual abuse and/or serious physical abuse, would receive coordinated services from legal, medical, child protective and social service professionals in one place at one time.

Tyler’s Justice Center for Children serves as a central location for intake, investigation and follow-up for all child abuse victims ages 3 – 18 in our tri-county area.

We work closely with law enforcement, DCFS and the State’s Attorney’s Offices in each of our three counties to form a multi-disciplinary team.

Services Offered:

• Case Coordination
• Family Advocacy
• Forensic Interviewing
• Multi-Disciplinary Team Investigations
• Medical Evaluations/Advocacy
• Referrals to other agencies
• Community Education
