Mission

Our mission is to promote justice and healing of child victims of abuse and violence by coordinating investigative, prosecutorial, treatment, and prevention services.

Vision

Our vision is to create a community where children are safe, families are strong, and victims become children again.

We do this by:

• • Reducing the number of times a child is interviewed during the investigation phase to a single interview conducted by a specially trained interviewer in a child-friendly environment
  • Increasing successful prosecution through improved evidence collection, victim-witness advocacy, and partnerships with municipal law enforcement
  • Strengthening child and family resilience through the Family Advocacy Program and Prevention Services
  • Preventing abuse and neglect through education, outreach, and community-based prevention services
  • Promoting the research and development of innovative evidence-based behavioral health treatments for children and families
