By Staff Report-
Safe Harbor Child Advocacy Center was formed in April to provide a multi-team approach in conducting forensic interviews of victims under the age of 18 who have experienced physical, mental or sexual abuse. The interview is conducted by a certified forensic interviewer in a safe and child-friendly environment.
During the interview, the Safe Harbor Child Advocacy Team, consisting of multiple professional disciplines, identifies and refers the child/family to additional community resources to support the child’s welfare. The Center was created for the purpose of significantly reducing any perceived trauma that the child may experience while discussing the child’s traumatic experience.
Area law enforcement and child behavioral specialists encouraged the formation of a Child Advocacy Center in Kosciusko County. The Board of Directors include Kosciusko County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Hampton, Sheriff Kyle Dukes, and Warsaw Police Chief Scott Whitaker.
Kelly Bugg, president and executive director, expressed appreciation for the Kosciusko County Community Foundation’s financial support by saying, “This generous contribution will be very helpful in addressing the immediate startup needs of the Child Advocacy Center.”
The Center is a nonprofit 501c3 organization and is recognized by the Indiana Chapter of the National Children’s Alliance.
