CHILD ADVOCACY
The role of a child advocate during a crisis covers many depths and dimensions including physical, emotional, and legal supports. The Cortland County Child Advocacy Center provides a coordinated response from trained professionals to quickly and compassionately implement a plan of action.
HUMAN TRAFFICKING
The Cortland County Child Advocacy Center works with County and Statewide agencies to increase awareness in our area.
