RCCAT. The Riverside County Child Assessment Team Provides multidisciplinary forensic exams and interviews for children, from infants to 17 years of age, who have suffered abuse or neglect. Through a multidisciplinary team approach, Riverside University Health System (RUHS), Department of Public Social Services (DPSS), Law Enforcement (LE), the District Attorney’s Office (DA), and the Riverside University Health System/Behavioral Health provide forensic medical exams, forensic interviews, emergency medical care, crisis intervention, social services, mental health services, and advocacy. An advocate accompanies victims of abuse and their families through medical and legal procedures. The multidisciplinary approach minimizes the trauma that often results from the experience of victimization. The staff also provides expert testimony, as well as consultation and training, to community agencies and schools.
