In 1995, this program
provides a multidisciplinary approach to the investigation of sexually
abused and severely physically abused children. The purpose of this
service is to improve the coordination of the various agencies involved
in the investigation of child sexual abuse. The interview is video-taped
and audio-taped to minimize multiple interviews thus decreasing the
traumatic effect on the child. The Children's Safehouse conducts over
150 forensic interviews a year for children who are alleged victims of
sexual abuse. Certified by the National Children's Alliance (NCA), in
1999, the Safehouse follows NCA's "Best Practice" standards.
