A Child's Voice Child Advocacy Center, Inc.

What A Child's Voice Child Advocacy Center, Inc. does

A Child's Voice Child Advocacy Center, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2006 in Georgia, operating a Children's Advocacy Center model from its permanent headquarters at 241 Brookstone Place in Social Circle, GA, where it coordinates care and investigation for child abuse cases across Newton and Walton Counties. Its service portfolio comprises six integrated offerings: forensic interviews conducted with state-of-the-art video recording equipment by specially trained interviewers; forensic medical examinations performed by an on-staff nurse practitioner with telemedicine support from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta; family advocacy and support; evidence-based Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) provided at no charge; a Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) coordinating law enforcement, DFCS, prosecution, medical, and mental health partners; and community outreach and prevention education. All direct services to children and families are provided free of charge.

The organization is funded entirely through donations, grants, and fundraising events rather than fees for clinical services. Revenue streams include individual and corporate donations, event fundraisers (notably the annual Clays for Kids sporting clay tournament and the Pinwheel Palooza raffle), and grant funding from community foundations and government sources. Ancillary fee-based revenue comes from paid training programs such as Connections Matter ($350 per group of up to 25, $20 per individual), while Mandated Reporter Training is offered free to community partners. Donor relationships span United Way of Walton County, the Kirby Smart Family Foundation, Golden State Foods, Social Circle Ace Home Center, and numerous local civic groups. The center has cumulatively served 3,632+ clients since 2009, with 271 new clients in 2025 and 1,066 individuals trained in Stewards of Children since 2012.

The operational footprint is intentionally constrained: a single physical facility, a team of approximately eight staff including an Executive Director (Lindsey B. Jones, MPA), clinical leadership (DeAnna Fort, LCSW), and specialized roles across grants coordination, client services, nursing, forensic interviewing, therapy, and family advocacy. Distribution is referral-driven, with cases routed in from law enforcement, DFCS, schools, and partner agencies, supplemented by mobile community outreach and training delivered at partner locations. Technology usage is limited to clinical video recording and telemedicine infrastructure; there is no proprietary software product, app, or AI/ML capability. The model is operationally mature, well-embedded in the local MDT ecosystem, and structurally dependent on continued community funding and partner-agency cooperation.

Core offering

A Child's Voice Child Advocacy Center is a nonprofit child advocacy center that delivers coordinated, multidisciplinary services for child victims of sexual abuse, physical abuse, and child witnesses to violence in Newton and Walton Counties, Georgia. Core offerings include forensic interviews (videotaped by specially trained interviewers), forensic medical examinations (by a nurse practitioner, including via telemedicine with Children's Healthcare of Atlanta), family advocacy and support, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), multidisciplinary team coordination, community outreach, and mandated reporter and Connections Matter training programs.

Product overview

A Child's Voice Child Advocacy Center is a non-profit organization operating as a single, unified service center that coordinates care and investigation for child abuse cases across Newton, Walton, and surrounding Georgia counties. The center is not a technology product but a service organization built around a Children's Advocacy Center model. Its core service portfolio consists of six integrated offerings: Forensic Interviews (conducted by specially trained interviewers with video recording equipment), Medical Examinations (performed by a nurse practitioner, including telemedicine with Children's Healthcare of Atlanta), Family Advocacy and Support (pre-visit briefings, resource referrals, and follow-up), Therapy (free TF-CBT for children and teens showing traumatic stress symptoms), a Multi-Disciplinary Team (coordinating law enforcement, DFCS, prosecution, medical, and mental health agencies), and Community Outreach (educational presentations for the public). On top of these direct services, the organization offers two structured training programs — Mandated Reporter Training and Connections Matter — as well as fundraising events including Clays for Kids and Pinwheel Palooza.

Products and services

• Forensic Interviews Videotaped, non-suggestive forensic interviews of child abuse victims conducted by specially trained interviewers in a child-friendly, neutral environment.

Direct peers

• Prevent Child Abuse Georgia: State chapter that designates A Child's Voice as Walton County's local council. Both deliver mandated reporter training using the same Prevent Child Abuse Georgia curriculum and share the child abuse prevention mission across Georgia.
• Stephanie V. Blank Center for Safe and Healthy Children at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta: CHOA-affiliated child advocacy center that is both a clinical partner (telemedicine forensic exams) and a peer organization providing identical forensic interview, medical, and family advocacy services to child abuse victims in the Atlanta metro.
• National Children's Advocacy Center: The original CAC model (Huntsville, AL) that pioneered the multidisciplinary child advocacy center approach used by A Child's Voice. Both deliver forensic interviews, medical evaluations, and therapy for child abuse victims under a unified MDT framework.
• National Children's Alliance: National accrediting body and member association for Children's Advocacy Centers (CACs) including A Child's Voice. Both operate the same CAC model coordinating forensic interviews, MDT response, and family advocacy for child abuse cases.
• Darkness to Light: National organization behind the Stewards of Children training program that A Child's Voice has delivered to 1,066+ individuals since 2012. Both are mission-aligned in child sexual abuse prevention through community education.

Broad incumbents

• Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA): National network of volunteer advocates for children in the child welfare and foster care system. Both serve abused and neglected children through trained non-legal advocates and rely on volunteer-driven, donation-funded operating models.
• Prevent Child Abuse America: National umbrella organization with state chapters (including Prevent Child Abuse Georgia) focused on child abuse prevention, healthy child development, and parent support. Operates at broader scale than A Child's Voice but shares the prevention mandate.
• Childhelp: National nonprofit operating the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline, residential treatment facilities, and advocacy programs for abused children. Operates at national scale across multiple service lines intersecting A Child's Voice's CAC mission.

Emerging players

• Zero Abuse Project: National nonprofit focused on child sexual abuse prevention through education, survivor support, and institutional reform. Comparable to A Child's Voice in prevention-training mission (Stewards of Children, mandated reporter curriculum) but operates without a brick-and-mortar CAC facility.

Regional players

• Georgia Center for Child Advocacy: Sibling Georgia CAC serving metro Atlanta with the same forensic interview, MDT, and therapy service portfolio as A Child's Voice. Highly comparable service mix but operates in a different Georgia geography (Fulton/DeKalb counties).
