Who We Are
Our Story: It Takes a Team
The Lewis & Clark County Child Abuse Multidisciplinary Team recognized a critical need for coordinated care for child victims of crime and their families in 1998. Representatives from Child and Family Services, the Helena Police Department, the Lewis & Clark County Attorney’s Office, the Sheriff’s Office, and a local pediatrician came together with AWARE to establish the Lewis & Clark County Children’s Advocacy Center (LCCCAC).
In 2008, LCCCAC earned accreditation through the National Children’s Alliance, demonstrating our commitment to the highest standards of care. Today, we serve not only Lewis & Clark County but also Broadwater, Jefferson, and Meagher Counties, ensuring that more children and families have access to the support they need.
