Our Mission:
The mission of Safe Place Child Advocacy Center is to reduce trauma to survivors of physical and sexual violence by providing a safe environment for individuals to talk with professionals about their experience. In support of this mission, Safe Place and our partners assist survivors in opening an investigation and facilitating support services so that they may start on the path toward healing.
Our goals are to:
Investigate criminal allegations of child and adult sexual assault and severe child physical abuse using specially trained investigators.
Minimize further trauma to victims by providing a safe place to talk with investigators.
Refer children and adult victims and non-offending family members to services designed to help them heal.
Create public awareness of the challenges of child abuse through outreach and education.
