We've taken a little bit of a different approach in the sense that the request for funding has come from communities. This really is a bottom-up approach. Community partners such as police, child protection, victims services have come together and said, “Golly gee, we have to do something. You do great things. We do great things. How can we work together better?” That's where we've been able to support that bottom-up approach.
I'd say that globally there are more child advocacy centres in the west, but I wouldn't want to go so far as to say that's because there is more child abuse or child neglect in the west. Really, that's where there has been a groundswell of community organizations wanting to work together in this multidisciplinary approach.
