(Airdate: October 10, 2025) This week on County Connections, Jim Burke and co-host Commissioner Heidi Eisenhour welcome Jessica Lowe, who is the Director of the Jefferson County Children’s Advocacy Center. From their webpage: “In response to the needs of Jefferson County, efforts are currently underway by the Olympic Peninsula YMCA and community partners to develop an accredited Child Advocacy Center where children who experience abuse, and non-offending family members, can come for safety, justice and healing.”
The Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) has a Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) that draws on a dozen local agencies and keeping focus on the child so they avoid having to recount the abuse to many different people repeatedly, reducing further trauma. The CAC occupies the space vacated by KPTZ Radio after they moved to the New KPTZ station at Fort Worden. To find out more and to support the CAC go to their webpage.
