(Child Abuse Listening Interview and Coordination Center.)
The CALICO Center serves as a multi-disciplinary hub, bringing
together law enforcement, child welfare workers, and prosecutors
to coordinate Alameda County's response to child abuse and link
children and families with vital therapeutic, medical and legal
support services. CALICO is often the place where abused children
recount their experiences in full for the first time. A supportive
and effective response from CALICO is therefore crucial in fostering
healing and ensuring that offenders are held accountable.
Amy Boxer currently serves on the CALICO Board of Directors.
