About Us

Our mission is to champion and strengthen the global response to child abuse. Founded in 1985 in Huntsville, Alabama, under the leadership of former Congressman and District Attorney Bud Cramer, we are the world’s first Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC). The CAC model revolutionized the response to child abuse by coordinating a multidisciplinary team (MDT) to handle abuse allegations. In this model, children speak with specialized interviewers in a child-friendly, non-threatening environment, minimizing further trauma. As the model for thousands of CACs and Barnahus centers worldwide.
