Mercy Child Advocacy Center

The Mercy Child Advocacy Center provides a comprehensive, coordinated approach in response to allegations
of child abuse. Children who may have been abused or who are witness to violent crime are referred to our Center by the Arkansas State Police, Division of Children and Family Services or law enforcement, for a videotaped forensic interview, and evidentiary exam. At the CAC, specially trained child interviewers, investigators, law enforcement and medical personnel form a team to make decisions about investigation treatment and prosecution of child abuse cases. This approach proposes that children receive child--focused services in a child-friendly environment-one in which a child's needs come first. For more information please call 501-622-2531.
