Quiet Work With Loud Impact with Cailey Brown
Season 2 Episode 9
On this episode of the Max Loves Midland Show, we sit down with Cailey Brown, Forensic Interviewer and Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) Coordinator at the Midland Child Advocacy Center (CAC), to talk about one of the most important — and often unseen — support systems in our community. Cailey shares her story of growing up in small-town Merrill, Michigan, her unexpected path into the world of psychology, and how that journey led her to a career in child advocacy and direct service work. We explore what the CAC is, how it operates at the intersection of prevention and intervention, and why its collaborative approach is so vital for families navigating some of the hardest moments of their lives. Cailey pulls back the curtain on what a forensic interview actually looks like, how prevention education plays a role in keeping kids safe, and what it means to truly support children and families in moments of crisis. We also talk about Midland — her initial perceptions of the community, how they’ve changed over the past three years, and what she hopes to see in Midland’s future. Plus, Cailey gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the CAC’s annual Arts & Advocacy event on May 1 at Creative 360 — a night that brings together art, conversation, and community support for a critical cause. This episode is a reminder that sometimes, the quietest work happening in a community is also the most powerful.
