We want to wish a very happy birthday and 10 year anniversary of being on staff to Caitlin Forcier! In the CAC (Child Advocacy Center) world, it is rare for people to remain in this work long term as this is demanding, emotionally heavy work, and longevity is something worth recognizing—and celebrating!
When several staff members, board members, and partner agencies were asked to share one word that comes to mind when they think of Caitlin, here are just some of the responses:
Trustworthy—someone to confide in; Resilient; Generous; Smart; Thoughtful; A fighter; Compassionate (more than once); Eloquent; Passionate; Fierce—instinctively knows how to appropriately protect her clients; Loyal—her clients and peers are always her priority; Kind; Funny; Genuine; Purposeful—she walks through the world with intention; Relentless; Intentional; Truehearted; Amazing; Dedicated; Refuge; Guardian.
As you can see, Caitlin’s influence has been deeply felt within our CAC and across several partner agencies we work with regularly. She holds many roles—Advocate, Mental Health Therapist, Program Director, Mentor, just to name a few. Her impact has reached the state level as well, where she has helped develop training programs for Child and Family Advocates. She has raised the bar for what advocacy looks like within a CAC in Arkansas—all within just 10 years.
Her knowledge and expertise have also led her to serve as an Expert Witness in court. She has grown into a steady, grounding force among us, and we are a stronger team because of her. She also happens to be an incredible mom, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend.
Caitlin, congratulations on reaching your 10-year anniversary at the CSC! Countless children and families have been helped by your advocacy, professionalism, and relentless pursuit of excellence. Lives have truly been changed because you walked alongside families during some of their most difficult moments. You embody the word Refuge—for families and for our staff.
Thank you for all you have done, and continue to do, to make us better.
Please join us in wishing Caitlin a Happy Birthday, and congratulating her on reaching 10 years of employment!
