What we do

Three services, all free, all under one roof.

Kids Playroom

Forensic Interviews

A single recorded conversation with someone trained to talk with children about hard things — so a child tells their story once, not again and again.

Waiting Room

Counseling

Free, confidential, trauma-informed counseling for children 3 to 18, including preparation for grand jury and trial.

Holding Paper Cutout of Family

Family Advocacy

Someone alongside caregivers through the whole court process, so no family has to work out the system on their own.

We charge nothing. The community carries the cost.

Every gift keeps a counselor in a room with a child who needs one.
