The Safe Harbor Children’s Advocacy Center serves victims of child abuse throughout the Brunswick Judicial Circuit. Safe Harbor provides rehabilitative care to more than 450 child victims of sexual and/or severe physical abuse every year.
The statistics are staggering. One in ten children will be the victim of abuse before the age of 18. Of those, three in ten are under the age of eleven. Think about it. Every day of the school year, nearly 1,000 school-aged children in Glynn County walk into a classroom weighted down with their backpack full of books and the trauma of their own abuse. Yet, all too often, it is a topic few want to discuss or even acknowledge.
DOES THIS PICTURE MAKE YOU SAD OR ANGRY? IT SHOULD!
Did you know, more than 4 children die from child abuse and neglect on a daily basis. Over 70% of these children are below the age of 3.
OUR CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER IS LEADING THE WAY
As a certified Children’s Advocacy Center, we are specially trained to care for the youngest of victims.
Safe Harbor’s Children’s Advocacy Center is a safe, child-focused environment for children who disclose sexual assault or abuse, or observed violence/abuse of another person. We provide advocacy during acute and delayed exams, during children’s forensic interviews and court accompaniment. We follow a multi-disciplinary approach to care by bringing law enforcement, DFACS, prosecutor, medical, psychological/trauma support and advocacy together to best support the child victim and his/her family.
As a Children’s Advocacy Center, we designed our center and services to aid in the healing process of child sexual abuse and serious physical abuse with dignity and respect in a safe, nurturing environment. It is child-focused, agency-neutral setting where law enforcement, child services personnel, medical, and victim advocacy can come together to reduce the stressors on the victim and her/his non-offending caregiver.
