We are dedicated to the prevention, evaluation, and treatment of child abuse.
KIDS Center is a medical model Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) providing child abuse evaluations that include a head-to-toe medical exam, child-friendly forensic interview, family advocacy, and mental health services to children and families impacted by abuse. In addition, our services include prevention programs to help teach adults in our community how to better protect children from abuse.
Children are referred for a KIDS Center evaluation by one of four community partners including law enforcement, DHS Child Welfare, medical providers, and licensed mental health professionals. Children and families can engage in KIDS Center advocacy and mental health services without participating in an evaluation. All of KIDS Center services are provided at no cost.
Children's advocacy center, the services we provide are:
1. Child abuse evaluations - forensic interview + medical exam
2. Family advocacy for clients + hotline calls for community
3. Trauma informed therapeutic services + hotline calls
4. Child abuse prevention trainings - community + private groups
