ABUSE AND CRISIS INTERVENTION SERVICES | PROJECT HARMONY
Forensic interviews when requested by law enforcement or Child Protective Services. A child interview specialist will conduct a video-taped forensic interview with the child. One of the goals of this interview is to reduce the number of times the child must tell the story of his/her abuse.
Medical exams to evaluate children who are suspected to have been abused or neglected.
Assessment and referrals by mental health professionals, who assess each child's needs and refer them to the appropriate therapy, support groups, and other resources. Families also receive help in "understanding the system".
Multidisciplinary teams consisting of law enforcement, Child Protective Services, medical professionals, prosecution, school personnel, Project Harmony staff, and other professionals regularly review cases to make certain children do not fall through the cracks. Teams work toward making changes and finding solutions to any problems in reporting and investigating child abuse, permanency, treatment, and system issues.
Anyone can refer a case to the teams; call and include:
- The child's name.
- Date of birth.
- School.
- Protective Service Worker's name.
- The reason for the referral.
Training to professionals and volunteers.
