Our Mission
ACAA is dedicated to the prevention of emotional, physical and sexual child abuse and promotes safe, healthy, well-functioning children, families and communities through preventive education and treatment.

How Did ACAA Start?
In the late 1980s, a group of people from East Central Alberta began talking about the significant number of child sexual abuse cases they were seeing the lack of services available to these victims. This 'talking' led to the formation of a community-based board representing all of East Central Alberta, and a treatment service provided by professionally trained therapists. In 1997, a formal preventive education program was established, and the child sexual abuse scope was extended to include emotional and physical abuse.

What Services Are Provided?
ACAA provides preventive education programs and treatment services.
