The Northern Kentucky Children’s Advocacy Center, (NKCAC) is a regional Children’s Advocacy Center and provides services to children, non-offending caregivers, siblings, family members and professionals throughout the Northern Kentucky Area Development District. NKCAC serves Boone, Campbell, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant, Kenton, Owen, and Pendleton counties.

Our Mission

The Northern Kentucky Children’s Advocacy Center was developed to provide a neutral, child-friendly location in which to provide services and support to victims of child sexual abuse and their non-offending family members and/or caretakers. It is the goal of the center to minimize the trauma that many children and family members often experience while “going through the system” following a child’s disclosure of sexual abuse. This is accomplished through the collaboration of the multidisciplinary team, which includes child protection, law enforcement, prosecuting attorney’s, mental health clinicians, physicians, medical staff and family advocates. By working together, the multidisciplinary team assumes the responsibility of the response, investigation, prosecution, treatment and prevention of child sexual abuse in our communities.

NKCAC provides :

• a child focused and friendly location
• coordination of joint investigations
• forensic interviewer / recorded interviews
• medical examinations, evaluations, and referrals
• victim advocate / support services
• case tracking
• training for professional in related fields
• community education

NKCAC is funded by foundations, corporations, and government grants and through the tremendous support and generosity of caring individuals.  Please consider making a tax-deductible donation, monthly contribution or an annual pledge. To make a donation please contact Community Foundation of Northern Kentucky by emailing Janice.Way@CFNKY.COM.

The Northern Kentucky Children’s Advocacy Center is an accredited member of the National Children’s Alliance.
