Guest Speakers
This writer introduced Det. Denise Miller and Program Dir. Kellie
Eastman, Greater Lakes Child Advocacy Center, to the club. Child
abuse is a community problem that Belknap County chooses to challenge
through interdisciplinary cooperation. The GLCAC is comprised
of professionals from DCYF, law enforcement, prosecution, victim
advocacy, medical, mental health, education, and other disciplines
as appropriate. They are committed to coordinated investigations
and effective utilization of existing community resources to
help the community identify and confront child abuse so as to
reduce trauma and promote healing of victims and their supportive
care givers and hold offenders accountable. They are actively
seeking volunteers, call 524-5497.
