Cooper-Anthony Mercy Child Advocacy Center

The Cooper-Anthony Mercy Child Advocacy Center provides a comprehensive, coordinated approach in response to allegations of child abuse. Children who may have been abused or who witness violent crimes are referred to our Center by the Arkansas State Police, Division of Children and Family Services or law enforcement for a video taped forensic interview and evidentiary exam. 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 (50) 622-2531.
