History

The Larimer County Child Advocacy Center is an inspiring example of a successful public/private partnership. In 1994, a community task force began meeting to find a better way to serve children involved in child abuse investigations and their families. After a year of information gathering and review, the group recommended establishing a center where teams would provide children and families coordinated services in a child-friendly setting. In January of 1997, their recommendation became a reality when the Child Advocacy Center first opened its doors on a small house on West Myrtle Street in Fort Collins.

At the Child Advocacy Center, detectives/investigators, caseworkers, and prosecutors work side by side, forming an expert response team that puts children's needs first.
