What we do: Our vision includes compassionate care, competent advocacy, and referrals to the most appropriate services for children and families. Team members that serve children maintain open communication with one another and coordinate their work, sharing their professional skills, training, and expertise to ensure the very best care.

We are committed to coordinating and tracking investigative, prosecutorial, child protection, advocacy, and treatment efforts so that a child's case does not "fall through the cracks". We are dedicated to preventing child abuse through comprehensive primary prevention approaches that reduce vulnerability to victimization, reduce offending behaviors, increase the positive influence of bystanders, and address conditions in society that perpetuate violence and abuse.
