Amy Crockett (HCS Student Support Services Coordinator), Lauren Cappola (HCS Director of Counseling Services), Jan Rogers (CAC Director and Forensic Interviewer), and Jermaine White (HCS Assistant Superintendent of Student Support Services) look on as Dr. Aaron Fleming (HCS Superintendent) signs the Memorandum of Understanding renewing the partnership between Children’s Advocacy Centers and Harnett County Schools. The CAC raises community awareness about child abuse and provides resources for the safety and protection of children. A multidisciplinary team, composed of CAC staff and representatives from all intervening agencies, frequently review active cases. Harnett County Schools Student Support Services staff serve on this multidisciplinary team to best support students and families who may be involved with the CAC. According to Jan Rogers, the partnership with HCS has optimized their ability to serve children, since schools are where children spend much of their time. Harnett County Schools is dedicated to the same mission and is thankful for Children’s Advocacy Centers for everything they do for our community. #TogetherWeServe #Children #ChildProtection #WeAreHarnett #SuccessWithHCS
