The CAC sponsored several Child Abuse Prevention events to educate the public and conducted education series aimed at individuals who are deemed to be “mandatory reporters” of child abuse by the laws of the State of Alabama. Audiences included employees of child-serving organizations such as teachers, administrators, coaches, volunteers,  and  healthcare providers.
