When a child is seen at the CAC, we send them home with a bag full of items that will help comfort them after their forensic interview. Our goal is for every child to have a smile on their face when leaving the CAC!

Items that help are new stuffed animals, coloring books, crayons, children's books, playdoh, stress balls, fidgets, snacks and drinks, and toiletries.
