06/05/2026

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Mutual Ground for inviting our CAC Executive Director and Kendall County First Assistant State’s Attorney Brenda Karales to present at their recent training on Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence.

Brenda shared information about the role of the Children’s Advocacy Center and the importance of collaboration when supporting victims and their families. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with organizations like Mutual Ground that are committed to education, awareness, and advocacy in our community.

Thank you, Mutual Ground, for all that you do and for including us in this important work. 💜

We are proud to share that our very own Detective Petro of the Joliet Police Department recently taught at the ChildFirst training. We are incredibly fortunate not only to have her investigating child sexual abuse cases, but also conducting forensic interviews at our center.

Thank you, Detective Petro, for your dedication and for the vital work you do to support and protect children.
