Our comprehensive services

Forensic interviews are conducted by specially trained professionals in a warm, child-friendly room. The interviewer uses non-leading, age-appropriate techniques to gather accurate facts while law enforcement, Children's Division, and prosecution observe remotely through a closed-circuit video feed. This eliminates the need for a child to re-tell their story multiple times to different agency representatives.

Pediatric medical evaluations at Children's Center are gentle, non-traumatic physical examinations performed by medical professionals specifically trained in child abuse medicine. The exam ensures the child's physical health, documents medical findings, and provides reassurance to the child and caregiver.

When abuse occurs, non-offending caregivers often face crisis, confusion, and fear. Our Family Advocates meet with parents and guardians during the center visit, offering emotional support, crisis counseling, legal process navigation, crime victims' compensation assistance, clothing vouchers, and connection to community resources.

Children's Center serves as the central hub uniting all key agencies involved in child protection. Our MDT includes local law enforcement detectives, Children's Division caseworkers, county juvenile officers, assistant prosecutors, medical staff, and child advocates who meet regularly to review cases and coordinate action.

Trauma clinical therapy helps children process fear, anxiety, and distress following abuse. Our licensed therapists utilize evidence-based models like Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Play Therapy to help children build healthy coping mechanisms and restore emotional well-being.

Protecting children requires educating the community. Children's Center delivers age-appropriate body safety programs to school children and offers professional training for educators, daycare workers, church leaders, and law enforcement on recognizing and reporting child abuse.
