Our mission is possible only through the collaboration of the various professionals that must intervene when sexual abuse and/or exploitation of a child is disclosed or suspected. The Barren River Area Child Advocacy Center starts with the idea that no one agency or professional can adequately respond and meet the needs of a child victim. It takes the expertise of a core multidisciplinary team of professionals – law enforcement, child protection services, forensic interviewers, prosecutors, physicians, therapists and professional advocates – all working together to provide children and their non-offending family members or caregivers with quality services and support they need.

Please Note: Children receive services once an investigation is initiated through law enforcement and/or Department of Community Based Services. If this is an emergency, please contact your local law enforcement or the Kentucky Child Abuse Hotline at 1-877-597-2331.
