ABOUT SWICACC  

SWICACC is a non-profit organization founded in 2009 when it was recognized that children victims of maltreatment did not have a child advocacy center within their community. Through grants, fundraisers, and donations, SWICACC continues to grow and provides services to children in Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Martin, Orange, Perry, and Spencer Counties.

During an investigation of child maltreatment, SWICACC conducts forensic interviews with the children reported to be victims of abuse. A forensic interview is a specialized information gathering interview. It is used as evidence during the investigation and prosecution of child maltreatment. SWICACC staff follow national protocols and go through extensive training to conduct these interviews and utilize a multi-disciplinary team. The goal is to reduce the number of times a child has to tell their story, reducing trauma.
