Child advocacy centres bring together law enforcement agencies and community partners in a child-friendly environment to provide services such as mental health, medical and legal supports to children and youth who experience physical, emotional or sexual abuse and/or neglect.
With eight provincially funded centres located in communities including Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, Edmonton, Lloydminster, Red Deer, Calgary, Lethbridge and Medicine Hat, this funding will help support more children and youth across the province on their healing journey.
