​The Children's Advocacy Centers of Illinois (CACI) is a remarkable network of Children's Advocacy Centers (CACs). CAC services help children on their journey to healing. Every day the remarkable people that work at our CACs coordinate services, interview children and advocate on behalf of victim's rights.
In Illinois, our vision is simple: to ensure every child in the state of Illinois has access to the services offered through a CAC. While we cannot stop abuse, we can make a significant impact through prevention education and multidisciplinary services provided to the children who have suffered the horrors of abuse.
Thank you for visiting our website. Thank you for partnering with us as we work together in a unified voice on behalf of Illinois' children. We invite you to donate to our cause as we continue to speak for the children who live on your street, in your neighborhood and in your state.

What a great day of visioning and planning for the future of CACI. Thank you to Midwest Regional Children's Advocacy Center (MRCAC) for leading and facilitating Day 1 of Strategic Planning. We are looking forward to tomorrow.
Strategic Planning Day 2 left the CACI staff and Board feeling energized and excited as we strengthen and build onto our Mission & Vision. It would be almost impossible to achieve anything of significance without a good plan. Corey, Jordan & Sara - DreamTeam MRCAC - we appreciate your strengths and commitment! Thank you for asking the tough questions, helping us put our thoughts into words and of course, for compiling, designing, facilitating and keeping us moving and laughing
