The CAC of Suffolk County supports the health and wellbeing of the children and families of Boston, Chelsea, Revere, and Winthrop. Each month we'll share highlights and updates to help you better understand how you are part of the healing and justice we see every day. 

Earlier this month, CAC SEEN Coordinator, Sophie Jordan (far right) was one of nearly 1,000 attendees at the JuST Conference in Fort Worth, TX. During the three-day conference, she and other CSEC Coordinators from Massachusetts (pictured) heard from CAC partner, My Life My Choice, on enhancing the survivor-ally relationship as well as many other experts in the field of human trafficking prevention.

CAC Director of Mental Health, Catalina Perez, was once again interviewed by Univision Boston.

Following a recent case of kidnapping and assault, Catalina offered important information to the Hispanic community about the effect a sexual assault can have on a victim’s mental health.

We are always grateful when the media reaches out for our comment when incidents occur so we can provide our expert, trauma-informed response.
