The Child Protection Team (CPT) of Brevard County has been providing services to abused children and their families since 1980, and has been coordinated through Wuesthoff Health Services since 1984. The CPT of Brevard is housed in the Children's Advocacy Center (CAC) of Brevard in Melbourne. Also on site at the CAC of Brevard are Protective Investigators from the Department of Children and Families and Agents from the Brevard County Sheriff's Office.

The CPT of Brevard utilizes a multi-disciplinary approach when investigating cases of suspected child abuse, and consists of Case Coordinators, Medical Professionals, and Support Staff who are dedicated to working with abused children and their families. Medical exams and interviews with children in cases of suspected child abuse are provided on-site at the CPT of Brevard. The interviews are videotaped and provided to law enforcement for use as evidence in their investigations. The CPT of Brevard professional staff also provide training in the community on issues of child abuse and neglect.
