Forensic Interviews: 

JACY House staff is part of a multi-disciplinary team, composed of Department of Children Services, law enforcement and prosecutors. When a child comes to JACY House, the team gathers so that the agencies involved can observe the child’s interview from another room and ask questions through the interviewer. The child talks only to the trainer interviewer instead of three or more people. This process provides evidence so that investigation and prosecution can be done to remove child perpetrators from society. 

 

Safety Education:

JACY House offers to the schools, a body safety program entitled, “Good Touch/Bad Touch®”. It is comprehensive three day program that teaches children body safety rules. Children learn how they can protect themselves from people who want to hurt them.

 

Parent Support:

When a child discloses sexual abuse, a long and somewhat terrifying journey begins for not only the child but also the parents/guardians. Non-offending parents/guardians do not know what to do or who to turn to. “You Are Not Alone” is a peer support group that provides information and support from other families that are going through the same crisis.
