      These centers provide a one-stop location for families recovering from the devastation of child abuse by providing forensically sound interviews, scheduling medical examinations, on-site therapy, and follow-up services. All of these services are provided free of charge. A great place to assist families with where to turn when abuse has occurred inside or outside of the church.
