Building a CAC Response to Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children

Includes a Live Web Event on 08/20/2026 at 2:00 PM (EDT)

This panel of Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) professionals will share how their teams have approached cases developing their CAC’s response to commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC). Panelists will discuss how they define and identify CSEC cases, strategies for engaging multidisciplinary team partners, and the key community partners needed to build an effective response. The conversation will explore how CSEC cases may differ from traditional child sexual abuse cases, highlight effective practices and programs currently in place. Attendees will gain practical insights, lessons learned, and ideas for strengthening their local response to child exploitation.
