The Family Advocacy Network (FAN) is a comprehensive, victim-focused program that provides a coordinated response to abuse cases by law enforcement, Health and Human Services, county prosecutors and healthcare professionals.  FAN provides forensic interviews, medical examinations and referral sources for adults and children who experience:

• Child physical and sexual abuse.
• Domestic violence.
• Sexual assault.
• Neglected or abused vulnerable adults .

As a Child Advocacy Center (CAC) and an accredited member of the National Children's Alliance, FAN also assists in the coordination of county child abuse investigation teams, identifying system issues, encouraging case review and arranging for or providing requested training for professionals.

A friendly facility located on the Good Samaritan Hospital campus in Kearney, Nebraska; near the Emergency Room.  FAN provides a safe haven for those faced with abuse, as well as their families.

FAN goals include:

• to ensure all abuse victims, no matter where they live, receive the same, comprehensive, coordinated services.
• to ensure that those who have experienced abuse are not further victimized during the investigative process.
• to strengthen families in our communities.
• to keep children safe.
