The Role of the Registered Nurse at the Child Advocacy Center (CAC)

Feedback from the field suggests that communities face challenges understanding how Registered Nurses can be utilized effectively to care for patients at child advocacy centers (CACs). As a result, many are choosing to avoid this approach to addressing the healthcare needs of this population. At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will be able to articulate ways in which Registered Nurses can contribute to the care provided at CACs, and the various models utilized to accomplish this.
