The Arizona Child & Family Advocacy Network


ACFAN supports the establishment, sustainability, and improvement of advocacy centers that serve victims of sexual and family violence.


What Is ACFAN?

The Arizona Child and Family Advocacy Network provides support, training and guidance to all advocacy centers in   Arizona and their professionals who coordinate services and respond to   family violence and sexual assault. Efforts are made to accommodate   special needs and multilingual populations.

The  network was created to support communities seeking to  establish and  improve advocacy centers and current advocacy programs to  better serve  abused and neglected children and their families.


What Is an Advocacy Center?

An advocacy center is a comprehensive, victim focused program  based in a  facility that allows law enforcement, child protection  professionals,  prosecutors, victim advocates, forensic interviewers,  medical  professionals, and mental health providers to work together when  intervening and investigating violent crimes against children and adults. A video below helps you see how a CAC can help a child. Arizona has chosen to apply this method for over 30 years to all victims of abuse in which created a "Family Advocacy Centers" model; where victims of Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, Elder Abuse, & Human Trafficking may also receive services in a safe trauma focused environment. 


The overall goal of all advocacy centers is to ensure that the  victims who are entrusted to the centers are not further victimized by the systems that are designed to protect them. 

Advocacy centers were created more than a three decades ago, based on the  premise, “together we are smarter” when responding to victims of violent crimes. Since that time, there are more than 800 centers nationwide  supported by the National Children’s Alliance.


The Purpose of Advocacy Centers

Integrating Services to Support Victims

Advocacy  centers located throughout  Arizona are designed to provide onsite  services to child victims of  either physical or sexual abuse as well as  neglect. Some centers provide  services to adult victims of sexual  assault, domestic violence, or  vulnerable adult abuse.
