About us

At the National Children’s Advocacy Center (NCAC) we are champions for children and work to strengthen the global response to child abuse. We do this in two ways, by serving the children and families of Madison County, Alabama, and by training child abuse response professionals around the world. Created in 1985, under the leadership of former Congressman and District Attorney, Bud Cramer, we are the first Children’s Advocacy Center in the world and have served as a model for the thousands of Children’s Advocacy Centers and Barnahus throughout the world. The CAC model coordinates the multidisciplinary response to child abuse allegations bringing together professionals from law enforcement, social services, mental health, and medical fields to ensure that every child receives comprehensive support and care. Through our innovative programs, training initiatives, and advocacy efforts, we strive to prevent child abuse, empower survivors, and educate communities. We believe that every child deserves to grow up in a nurturing environment free from violence and fear, and we work tirelessly to make this vision a reality. Join us in our mission to create a world where all children are safe, valued, and able to thrive. Together, we can make a profound and lasting impact on the lives of countless children and families.
