Que hacemos
Kids FIRST, fundado en 1994, es un Centro Acreditado de Defensa para Niños (CAC) que sirve al Condado de Lane. Reducimos traumas adicionales para los niños que son víctimas de abuso al proporcionar un ambiente cálido y centrado en el niño donde los niños pueden ser entrevistados, recibir exámenes médicos y testificar ante el gran jurado, mientras reciben defensa y apoyo. Brindar todos estos servicios bajo un mismo techo trae a los profesionales al niño, lo que reduce el miedo y el trauma adicional a menudo asociado con ser arrastrado por estaciones de policía, salas de emergencia y juzgados.
Antes de Kids FIRST, un niño podría tener que visitar hasta 6 lugares diferentes para hablar sobre lo que les sucedió. Kids FIRST sirve aproximadamente a 700 niños cada año en nuestra comunidad.
