To stop child abuse, neglect, and exploitation as we strengthen our community by advocating for our children through prevention, education, and intervention using a collaborative multi-disciplinary child friendly approach.  

At our center we conduct forensic interviews on children that have been the victim of physical abuse, sexual abuse, or witness to violence.  We also offer pediatric sexual assault nurse exams (SANE) to children that have been a victim of sexual abuse.  We have victim advocates that will meet with the non offending caregiver and help get resources such as counseling, food, clothing, and victim compensation benefits.  All of our services to the families we serve are free of charge. 

We also have the CASA program that provides a court appointed special advocate to children in the foster care system.  A CASA is a volunteer that advocates for the best interest of the child.
