多学科小组（MDT）是一个由专业人员组成的协作小组，他们共同或独立地调查涉及儿童的犯罪。 该小组共同努力，防止儿童受害者及其家属的冗余，重叠和混乱，并确保调查的总体成功。
多学科团队 is commonly referred to as the MDT and includes law enforcement, Children’s Division, prosecutors, juvenile officers, medical professionals, mental health professionals, victim advocates, and the CAC staff.
Your CAC, Children’s Advocacy Services of Greater St. 路易 (CASGSL) is embedded within the 心理服务部 at the University of Missouri St. 路易. CASGSL服务于圣路易斯县和圣路易斯市的儿童和家庭。
The idea of a CAC came about in the 1980’s as child abuse came to the forefront. A prosecuting attorney by the name of Robert “Bud” Cramer in Huntsville, Alabama saw children going through the system having to retell their story multiple times to different agencies. 每当一个孩子分享他们的经历时，他们也重温了虐待和虐待的创伤。 由于这些原因，CAC模型的想法被开发出来，这样孩子只需要讲述一次他们的经历，而所有多学科团队成员都可以获得他们需要的信息。
