Ragan Freitag, Sterk Family Law Group, P.C., speaks with James W. Glasgow, Will County States Attorney. Freitag and Glasgow discuss the Paws-4-Kids program and other services available through the Will County Children's Advocacy Center.
Paws-4-Kids is pet therapy program designed to comfort abused children who visit the Will County Children’s Advocacy Center. The League of Extraordinary Canines or the center's therapy dogs eases and comforts children, and the children, in turn, provide a more thorough and detailed description of the traumatic events that necessitated their interview.
The CAC assists families through the investigation, prosecution and healing process, and advocates to help families understand the process, learn about their rights and ensure that children and families get the culturally-sensitive support, education and resources they need to help them overcome the trauma of abuse.
The Will County Children's Advocacy Center serves Will County children (and their non-offending family members) who were sexually abused, severely physically abused, or who had witnessed a violent crime.
Children who have been victimized, and receive services are less likely to: abuse drugs or alcohol, grow up to become victims of domestic violence, become involved in some sort of criminal activity, suffer from depression, anxiety disorders, or post-traumatic stress disorder, and/or develop suicidal ideation and self-harm.
