ECCAC’s mission is to heal and prevent the trauma of childhood abuse and neglect by providing advocacy, child-friendly therapies, and a safe environment for kids to feel seen, heard, and understood. Though ECCAC doesn’t house children, they provide services to children and their families at no cost in their Okaloosa and Walton County centers. However, Children in Crisis does provide shelter in a nurturing environment in Ft. Walton Beach with foster homes, and transitional living programs for children who have been removed from their homes.
