The Children's Advocacy Project Story
Since opening in 2002, the Children's Advocacy Project has provided services to nearly 700 children in the areas of forensic interviewing, medical evaluation, forensic evaluations, mental health assessments, individual, group and family therapy.
Services will also be available to child perpetrators of sexual assault under the age of 12, as these children have a need for specialized care to determine the possibility and extent of their own abuse.
Our multidisciplinary team has become very cohesive and CAP continues to be the preferred location for all child forensic interviews in Natrona County as well as from other counties in the state. In 2005, fully 14% of all cases at CAP were referrals from other Wyoming counties and states.
Since the development of the Children’s Advocacy Project, no cases of child maltreatment have been dismissed due to taint of the witness or witness incompetence regardless of the age of the child.
CAP provides medical evaluation for foster children and children who have been removed from their homes due to their parents’ methamphetamine use and/or manufacture.
The Children’s Advocacy Project (CAP) is a team of committed agencies and individual professionals who work together to provide coordinated forensic and comprehensive services for alleged victims of child maltreatment and children who witness violence in order to minimize trauma to children, to break the cycle of abuse and to foster a more effective and efficient community response to child maltreatment.
