How long does an appointment take?
The average length of a Forensic Interview per child is an hour. If there are multiple children, the time spent here will be longer.

The average length of a Medical Exam is 2-3 hours.

For a Forensic Interview, the child will meet with the interviewer and the collaborative partners (your investigative workers- law enforcement or CPS will observe the interview from a different room). The family advocate will meet with the non-offending caregiver while the child is meeting with the interviewer.

For medical exams, our CAC doctor and a medical assistant will be present.

For mental health screens, a CAC therapist will be present.

All services are provided at no charge.

There is a surface parking lot at both the Louisville, KY and New Albany, IN offices with free parking available.

A non-offending caregiver will bring the child to the appointment. If the child has someone who is part of their support system, they are also welcome.
