For over 30 years Dickerson Children's Advocacy Center (DCAC) has served thousands of children and their families.
Dickerson Children’s Advocacy Center (DCAC) is a non-profit, child-focused organization serving children ages 0 to 18 who have experienced abuse, neglect, or trauma. We provide forensic interviews, medical exams, trauma-informed therapy, family advocacy, and lead the Safe Babies Court program in Lexington County to support infants and toddlers in the child welfare system. DCAC also coordinates Multidisciplinary Teams (MDT) to ensure collaborative care and offers training and prevention education to equip schools, childcare providers, and community partners to recognize and respond to child maltreatment.
