Our Agency
We offer a child friendly space for all our programs. We offer the benefit of immediate follow-up on child abuse reports, better coordination of medical and mental health referrals, fewer child victim interviews, increased successful prosecution and a consistent continuum of support services to victims and their non-offending family members. Each year in the United States, millions of children are abused, neglected, or abandoned. Eventually, many of these children end up in court with a judge deciding their future. Every child deserves to begin their journey to recovery through a children's advocacy center, a child-friendly place where even the smallest and most vulnerable of child victims can feel safe telling what has happened to them and where their healing can begin.
