Our mission

The Maine Network of Children's Advocacy Centers is a membership organization committed to promoting Children's Advocacy Centers (CACs) and supporting existing and emerging centers. The Network promotes the development, growth, and utilization of CACs and multi-disciplinary teams to more effectively respond to Maine's sexually abused children and their families.

The Maine Network of Children's Advocacy Centers is a program of the Maine Coalition Against Sexual Assault and is an accredited member of the National Children's Alliance. The Network has seven members across Maine.

The Maine Network of Children's Advocacy Centers provides statewide representation and support for Maine's local Children's Advocacy Centers including:
    Resource sharing and mentoring,    
    Technical assistance,
    Public policy advocacy, and
    Statewide communication.
​

I appreciate how the Network always offers support to member centers, informing us of the latest research, topics of interest and upcoming professional development opportunities.  Whenever I have a question or need clarification (such as interpreting specific language within a quality assurance standard), the Network is quick to respond and assist! I appreciate that the Network has a pulse on what's going on with other centers in the state as well as having connections with the other regions of CACs across the country, which helps to keep us informed of best practices.    -CAC Provider
