The CSSW Washtenaw Child Advocacy Center (WCAC) is a child-focused program where the Michigan Department of Human Services, Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s office, local law enforcement agencies, mental health and medical professionals and victims’ advocates work together to conduct forensic interviews and make team decisions about the investigation, treatment and prosecution of child sexual abuse cases. WCAC helps minimize the trauma to children and families by offering crisis intervention services, coordinated case management and emotional support as the case goes through the legal system.

To Get Started:

Only children referred by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services or law enforcement are eligible to receive forensic interviews and medical exams at the WCAC. Parents seeking counseling or prevention education may call 734.544.2925. For more information, please check out the Washtenaw Child Advocacy Center website.
