∙ DCFS funding to provide for a victim advocate began prior to 1998. DCFS is a multidisciplinary partner with the LCCAC and provides yearly funding to sustain this advocate. The advocate role is a National Children’s Alliance (NCA) required role within the LCCAC and included in the guidelines set forth by the NCA for best practices which results in close to 60% of the LCCAC yearly funding.
∙ The victim advocates provide comprehensive, supportive services to child victims and their non-offending family members from the onset of the child’s disclosure and throughout any court proceeding if the allegation results in criminal charges.
∙ Program goals include: working with families and children while forensic interviews take place, providing mental health referrals, working with the onsite mental health team to ensure trauma is addressed, providing emotional support, addressing families’ immediate needs with on-site resources or community resources, conducting protocol reviews, and Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) case reviews.

∙ Funds will allow for additional work hours for a current part-time CAC forensic interviewer. These additional hours are required to meet the need for forensic interviews and NCA peer review requirements.
∙ The Lake County Children’s Advocacy Center provides funding for any program expenses in excess of expenses covered by the state and federal grant funding.
∙ If funding for these positions or programs ends, and new funding is not secured, the positions and programs will be eliminated.
