Kids FIRST

Kids FIRST Kids FIRST serves as Lane County's Children's Advocacy Center. Hope & healing starts here. The interviews are held in one of our child friendly video rooms.

Our primary goal is to make children feel safe, comfortable and supported while we provide the following services in a welcoming and child-friendly environment:

Recorded Interviews: Once a report of abuse is made to the proper authorities a child may be brought to Kids FIRST for an interview. Trained victim advocates, Child Protective Services, Law Enforcement Agencies and our Forensic Interviewe

r work with children ant their caregivers. The need for multiple interviews is reduced by recording the child's interview. Medical Exams: It may be appropriate to have the child examined by a specially-trained physician in a child-friendly medical room. The exam helps determine the child's medical and emotional needs and gather evidence. Victim Assistance: An advocate provides support and guidance to the child and his or her non-offending family members throughout the judicial process. Referrals: Because it's important to begin the healing process immediately, the advocate makes sure that the child and supportive family members get information and referral services to help with legal, financial, mental and physical health needs. Grand Jury Hearings: Law Enforcement authorities determine whether the case should be brought to the District Attorney's office for review. If the case is accepted for prosecution, Kids' FIRST is available for all meetings between the child and involved professionals. The grand jury also meets at Kids' FIRST, which allows the child to remain in familiar, comfortable surroundings. Educational Support Groups: We offer a free educational support group for parents of sexually abused children. Many parents of abused children find it comforting to learn and talk with others facing similar circumstances. Domestic Violence Witness Intervention: Children who witness domestic violence are interviewed at Kids FIRST and offered medical exams if needed. We provide immediate crisis intervention, information and referrals, resource development and safety planning for the children and survivors. Kids FIRST is the first child advocacy center in the nation to offer such services to our community.
