What We Do
The Martin House CAC is a central part of a multidisciplinary team (MDT) of professionals who work collaboratively to treat, investigate, and prosecute child abuse in Gregg, Harrison, Upshur and Marion counties. Research supports that the MDT approach results in more effective investigations, stronger criminal cases for prosecution, and better support services for children to reduce their trauma and revictimization
