Come on in and make yourselves at home on our website. We have great stuff for everyone. Regardless of your age, please visit our “For Kids” section. We have an audio/visual tour of Wynona’s House, on- and off-line coloring opportunities, games and a list of questions and answers that kids most often ask. The adults section provides useful resources for parents and professionals alike. Parents specifically, please visit the page that will provide you guidance about using the kid’s “Fun Stuff” as educational tools to help you have those difficult child safety conversations. Finally, Wynona’s House is in the midst of a capital campaign, so click on the “Watch Our Progress” for weekly updates on our construction progress.
The many professionals at Wynona’s House work tirelessly to provide a safe and comfortable haven for children who have been victims of child abuse. By coordinating our work, we reduce the number of times the children have to tell their stories while also strengthening the investigation so prosecution can distribute justice to individuals harming children. Finally, by involving medical and mental health, we can get needed healing services to children much sooner. Combining the efforts of the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office, Division of Youth and Family Services, and the Metro Regional Diagnostic and Treatment Center of Beth Israel Hospital, Wynona’s House is the child-friendly roof where we all work.
Child abuse is a painful subject and is far too frequent in Essex County. With nearly 6,000 reports of child abuse yearly, many children need our help. We welcome your support of our efforts. Please check out the “How You Can Help” section for volunteering, donating and other ways you can support the work of Wynona’s House.
Wynona’s House is Come on in.
