Calgary & Area Child Advocacy Centre
ABOUT THE CALGARY & AREA CHILD ADVOCACY CENTRE:
Child abuse is any form of physical, emotional and/or sexual mistreatment or lack of care (neglect) that causes injury or emotional damage to a child or youth. It is a horrific crime that many people do not want to think or talk about, and this needs to change. Children who have been abused are more likely to have adverse physical and mental health issues later in life, such as substance abuse, mental and physical health challenges, and chronic disease. Between April 1, 2013 and June 30, 2018, the Calgary & Area Child Advocacy Centre assessed 7,900 infants, children and youth. (average of 125 cases per month).
