Benefiting

Safe Harbor’s Children’s Advocacy Centers serve an important role throughout the Brunswick judicial Circuit in identifying and prosecuting child abuse, and helping victims heal from their traumatic experiences. Safe Harbor Children’s Advocacy Centers are safe, child-focused environments for children who disclose sexual assault, physical abuse, neglect, or have observed violence and/or abuse of another person. To reduce the trauma of victims and their families, the centers utilize a multidisciplinary team approach for the identification, investigation, prosecution, treatment, and prevention of child abuse.
The overarching goals of our programs are to:
-
Minimize the trauma experienced by children and adolescents who have been identified as victims of sexual or physical abuse
-
Improve the investigation and prosecution of sexual and physical abuse cases from the point of intervention through to treatment and healing
-
Promote interagency collaboration for effective decision making and management of sexual and physical abuse cases
-
Prevent further and/or future abuse of child victims
-
Provide training to professionals in the field of investigation, prosecution, and provision of services for sexually and physically abused children and adolescents and their non-offending caretakers.
