Services for Victims and Their Families
At Dawson Place we offer every service needed for victims of child sexual assault, physical abuse, and neglect including evaluation, intervention, treatment, education, investigation, prosecution, and advocacy in partnership with five other agencies.
Dawson Place employs child interview specialists, along with two therapy dogs, to help child victims disclose their trauma. They are specially trained to talk to any child aged 3 to 17 about abuse they have suffered and guide the child through the disclosure process in a way that is legally sound and defensible in court.
We help child abuse victims transform hurt to hope and find safety, justice, and healing.
Dawson Place Facility Dog, Sibella, provides comfort to clients during Forensic Interviews.
Our Services
Victim Advocacy and Support
Our victim advocates support child victims and families throughout the entire process. They offer emotional support, victims’ rights information, assist in finding resources, and provide help every step of the way.
Child Forensic Interviews
If a forensic interview of a child ages 3-17 is requested by law enforcement, you will be interviewed by a Child Interview Specialist.
Medical Examinations
Providence Intervention Center for Assault and Abuse may determine there is a medical need for a forensic evaluation to collect evidence that may be useful in the criminal prosecution of an abuser. The child would be seen by a professional who is trained to conduct sexual assault and physical abuse exams of children. Our exam rooms are a warm and inviting to give children as much sense of control and calm as possible, during a difficult situation. View our facilities (Link to Tour Video)
