Heart to Heart Child Advocacy Center facilitates and supports a collaborative, child-focused, multidisciplinary approach to prevention, investigation, prosecution and therapeutic treatment of child abuse.

            Heart to Heart Child Advocacy Center and the MDTs in Harvey, Marion and McPherson counties work to improve safety for children, reduce and address trauma, and strengthen our communitywide response to child abuse.

         Key results of this approach include: consistent and skilled provision of services, providing child victims and their families with advocacy, referrals to appropriate services, increased efficiency and success in prosecution, reduced duplication of efforts by community agencies, and protection of child victims.
Working together to end child abuse
Our Work
Specially trained individuals engage in the interview process so that suspected victims of abuse can find the strength to discuss their trauma. Forensic interviewers are from area law enforcement, Department of Children & Families, and Heart to Heart.  The forensic interview process is structured in such a way that the interviewer can explore the child’s abuse in the least intrusive manner possible. Forensic interviewers strive to fully understand the scope of the child’s trauma.  After the forensic interview is concluded, the child and family work with Child & Family Advocates to access advocacy services.
