CYAC, which serves Greenbrier, Pocahontas and Monroe Counties, is a non-profit organization that works to end child abuse in by coordinating a multidisciplinary response to child maltreatment. Funding through this grant will be used for mileage to provide direct services. CYAC conducted a total of 238 forensic interviews of children alleged to be victims of criminal child abuse and neglect in 2014.

All of these services were and still are provided at no charge to the child victims or their families.
