What is the difference between the Children's Advocacy Center, CASA and The Child Protection Network?

The CASA program and the Children's Advocacy Center (CAC) are both programs housed under McLean County Government that serve different purposes. While CASA volunteers are advocates for children in foster care, the Children's Advocacy Center is there to aid children and families after an allegation of sexual or severe physical abuse has been made.

The Child Protection Network (CPN) is a non-profit entity that provides financial support for the CASA and CAC programs.
