Utilizing a multi-disciplinary team approach, the center provides a safe, child-focused environment where children can share their experiences in a supportive setting, which minimizes the potential for further trauma. Through coordinated efforts involving medical professionals, law enforcement, mental health experts, and child protective services, the center ensures that children receive comprehensive care and support during sensitive investigations.
