Child Advocates of Contra Costa County
Located at 2151 Salvio Street, Suite 295, Concord, California, Child Advocates of Contra Costa County is a dedicated nonprofit organization committed to supporting children who have experienced trauma or abuse within our local community.
Our mission is to empower children by providing them with a compassionate voice and effective support system. We achieve this through our specialized program, which offers trained volunteers to be advocates for children during investigative interviews with law enforcement and child protective services.
At our Concord office, we connect children who need support with compassionate adult volunteers who are trained in child-friendly interview techniques. This process helps ensure the information children provide is gathered in a way that is sensitive to their needs and minimizes re-traumatization.
We understand that children often feel scared, confused, and alone after experiencing difficult events. Our trained advocates create a safe, supportive environment, helping children to express themselves clearly and confidently during the critical process of sharing their experiences.
By advocating directly with law enforcement and child welfare agencies, we help ensure that the child's perspective is heard accurately and promptly. Our local team at 2151 Salvio Street, Suite 295 works exclusively to serve the children of Contra Costa County, providing this essential service right here in our community.
Child Advocates of Contra Costa County operates solely from our Concord location, focusing our resources and services to best meet the needs of children in this specific county.
