Consulting Services

A child abuse case dismissed as a “he said/she said.” A prosecutor who won’t file charges citing insufficient evidence. Even in the most difficult cases, MDTs and CACs often have more options than they realize. Our expert consultation rigorously analyzes case details, identifies overlooked or misunderstood evidence, and strategizes with you to strengthen the case, persuade key decision-makers, and advocate effectively for justice.

When unexpected challenges threaten the stability or effectiveness of your child advocacy center or multidisciplinary team, crisis response consultation services provide expert guidance and strategy, drawing on over a decade of experience navigating complex, high-stakes organizational and criminal justice system contexts.

Invest in the next generation of leaders in child advocacy with our professional development and mentoring services. We'll work with your emerging MDT leaders to cultivate essential skills, knowledge, and confidence, fostering a new generation of passionate and effective child advocates.
