The true
meaning of
bravery
When a child or youth needs help leaving an abusive situation, we are here for them – not just for their immediate safety, but as part of an ongoing healing process.
What is a CAC?
Child Advocacy Centres (CACs) and Child Youth Advocacy Centres (CYACs) prioritize the needs of abused or neglected children. We provide assistance and a safe, comfortable environment to children, youth, and their families.
#GoBlueAB
October is Child Abuse Prevention Month (CAPM) and Child Advocacy Centres (CACs) across Alberta are raising awareness of child abuse and the important role communities play in keeping children and youth safe.

Education + Prevention
As a community, we need to better understand what child abuse is; education is the key to early prevention. Learn more about the issue, how to recognize the signs, ways to respond + report, and how to help prevent this from happening to a child in your life.
