A Unified Approach to Child & Youth Advocacy
CYAC Simcoe Muskoka is built on the strength of its multidisciplinary team, where professionals from police services, child protection agencies, medical and mental health fields, and community organizations collaborate to protect and empower children and youth.
By coordinating efforts, we minimize the re-traumatization of survivors, improve investigative outcomes, and ensure families receive immediate and ongoing support. Our child-first approach means that every professional involved plays a key role in early intervention, forensic interviewing, crisis support, and long-term recovery.
To assist our professional partners, we provide:
Best practices for forensic interviewing and case coordination.
Guidelines for working with children and youth impacted by trauma.
Current legislation and reporting obligations.
Training modules on trauma-informed and culturally responsive care.
Referral processes and service navigation guides.
