The CCAA Court Preparation Program was developed to support young witnesses, as well as the adults who care for them, when they may be required to testify in court.
This in-person program provides guided, age-appropriate court preparation delivered by trained and experienced facilitators. Parents and caregivers are included to help them understand the court process and learn how to best support the young witness before, during, and after testimony.
