The La Piñon Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) provides forensically sound interviews for children and adolescents when there is suspected abuse and/or neglect, or they are witnesses to a crime. The intent of this service is to produce an interview using researched based methods that are forensically defensible and provide necessary advocacy services, with a child focused approach.
The Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) is an active part of the Dona Ana County Multi-Disciplinary Taskforce that is composed of representatives from the District Attorney’s Office, local and state Law Enforcement agencies, Child Protective Services, Child Forensic Interviewers, Medical personnel, Mental Health professionals, and Victim Advocates.
The CAC staff has multiple forensic interviewers who have been trained in various national models of basic and advanced forensic interviewing, and case managers who provide follow-up services.
The CAC is accredited with the National Children’s Alliance and is a full member of the New Mexico Children’s Alliance.
