Benefits

At the Child Advocacy Center, a team of law enforcement officers, child protection case managers, therapists, investigators, clinicians, and prosecutors work together to ensure the best possible outcome for victimized children. Following are some of the benefits to our Team approach since it has been employed at the Memphis Child Advocacy Center:

• The length of investigations has been reduced by as much as 65%.
• Daily team reviews have cut down on duplication of efforts.
• Prosecutors are more successful as they encourage proper and expedient collection for physical evidence in each step for the process.
• Having a multi-disciplinary team reviewing cases results in a more accurate assessment of each reported incident.
• Child victims and their non-offending family members are able to move on with their lives sooner because of effective investigations.
• Stress and fear are reduced.
