Making a Difference for Children and Families

Traditionally, investigation of child abuse required multiple interviews of the victim by police, social services, medical personnel, attorneys, and psychologists.  Each interview occurred at a different place, and rarely in a setting, to the victim, that was familiar or comfortable.

The Children's Justice Center is a homelike environment that eliminates the need for multiple interviews, and is non-threatening to victims.  By utilizing the CJC, investigators can coordinate and begin the investigative process with a minimal amount of trauma to child victims of physical or sexual abuse.

The Children's Justice Center coordinates:

• A comprehensive child and family interview process by trained professionals
• Audio/Video taped interviews screened for technical optimization, and in a child friendly environment
• Screening of cases for prosecution
• Counseling and Treatment referrals
• Victim/Witness support services
• Case progress tracking and monitoring
• Community and professional education on abuse issues
• Support and informational services for parents and guardians
• Case staffing by a team of professionals
