What We Do

North Star CAC is a safe, child-friendly facility where child protection, criminal justice, and child treatment professionals work together to investigate abuse in Wood, Wirt, Pleasants, Calhoun, and Ritchie, hold offenders accountable, and help children heal. In the darkest moments, North Star CAC creates a safe environment for children to tell their stories and begin their path to healing.

Why It Works

Child advocacy centers (CACs) were able to support over 4,800 children across West Virginia in 2022-2023 alone. An amazing 4,596 forensic interviews were conducted statewide! According to a study conducted by the National Children’s Advocacy Center, our commitment to the CAC model saved taxpayers $3 million by allowing us to help victims of abuse and those reporting it find a safe, protective environment that promotes high-quality care and compassion.
