Violence: Children
built 288 days ago
Violence impacts the lives of millions each year. The smallest victims remain the most vulnerable. In 1984, the Center for the Vulnerable Child (CVC) was founded at the Los Angeles County and USC Medical Center (LAC+USC) for the purpose of better serving children and families impacted by child abuse and neglect. The CVC established a prototype Child Advocacy Center with a multidisciplinary team for the evaluation, treatment and investigation of child abuse and neglect. Today the CVC remains the largest child abuse center in California.
