Services

Child-Friendly Facility

The center is designed to make children feel comfortable and safe when they are meeting with investigators and team members about allegations of abuse.

Multi-disciplinary Team Investigation

Professionals from several different agencies collaborate on each child's case. This team approach increases coordination among child protection and criminal justice agencies, allowing them to track a child's progress through the investigation, judicial process, and treatment.

Forensic Interviews

Specially trained professionals talk to children about the alleged abuse they have experienced. The goal is to minimize trauma to the child by reducing the number of times a child must talk about his or her experiences.

Medical Examinations

The center has on-site examination rooms or a local medical professional to collect evidence and safeguard children's health.

Support Services

The center provides abused children and their families with referrals for support services, such as therapy, medical care, and victim resources.

Professional Training

Multi-disciplinary teams receive ongoing training to ensure that children receive the most professional care possible.
