Children’s Advocacy Centers coordinate investigation and intervention services for maltreated
children by bringing together social work, legal, health care, and other professionals and agencies in
a multidisciplinary team to create a child-focused approach to child abuse cases. Home visitation is
another strategy that shows promise for improving child health and preventing child maltreatment
(Avellar & Supplee, 2013).
