Behind every handprint there’s a story… Many recognize the CSC for the colorful handprints on our walls, providing an environment full of hope.

The handprints are the heart of the CSC mission. The handprints remind not only the team, but also, anyone who walks through our doors that it is society’s responsibility to support and assist child victims of abuse and their non-offending family members. The CSC’s expectation is that alleged child victims of abuse are brought to the center so their immediate and ongoing needs will be met in a discreet, comforting, and nonthreatening manner, enabling the investigation process to be more efficient and less traumatizing. The CSC assists and brings together law enforcement, prosecutors, child protection professionals, and health practitioners. Our goal is for the child to disclose their abuse once during the investigation, so they will not be traumatized over-and-over by the investigation. The CSC supports and connects the alleged child victims and families to community resources, as needed. The CSC offers five free programs: advocacy for the child and family, forensic interviews, forensic medical exams, therapy, and prevention education training.

Happy World Mental Health Day! 💙🧠

Today, we’re recognizing the importance of caring for our mental health. At the CSC, we know that healing looks different for everyone. Sometimes, it starts with having a safe space, a supportive person, or even a little squishy fidget to help manage big feelings. 💙

We are so grateful for our mental health team and all they do to support the children and families we serve!

💙 A little glimpse into this month’s Monthly Handprint!

Each month, our Monthly Handprint newsletter shares a look inside the Children’s Safety Center—from the moments happening around our building to stories of the children and families we serve.

We also highlight a specific need, either for the center or one of our clients. This month, one of our clients is working on self-regulation and could benefit from sensory chew necklaces as a safe, appropriate coping tool. This need is still on our wishlist, and we’d love to get it checked off! 💙 *UPDATE! ITEM HAS BEEN PURCHASED!!!*
