The forensic interviewer asks non-leading, developmentally appropriate questions regarding the trauma the child has experienced. Referrals for forensic interviews are received by law enforcement or the Department of Human Resources. All forensic interviews are digitally recorded and remotely observed by members of the multi-disciplinary team of investigators. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef929c252f22e04c7aba1ba/1593554594071-GRQVKRSIQD3OMDOJ3VJA/PrescottHouse-33_websize.jpg Our Work - Therapy Prescott House believes children need to process their trauma to begin healing. Our counselors offer high-quality, trauma-based counseling services at no charge to child victims and their families. Our therapy approaches include Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and TraumaPlay Therapy. These models address the emotional and behavioral difficulties associated with traumatic life experiences. Both models are evidence-based programs and are considered best practice for children and families who have experienced abuse and trauma. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef929c252f22e04c7aba1ba/1593556393492-BM1TG0OTKYYM3FWKCG5K/PrescottHouse-98_websize.jpg Our Work - Advocacy Prescott House understands the journey to healing continues after the family leaves our center. We provide follow-up contacts and connection to community resources as needed. Prescott House believes children can heal and thrive after abuse and our staff of advocates are committed to helping along the way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef929c252f22e04c7aba1ba/1599081859817-FKY4ELC2DSG4D5ZGV2U5/PrescottHouse-212_websize.jpg Our Work - Prevention Our Prevention Program has a two-pronged approach: training adults in organizations that serve youth and community members at large and facilitating school-based programs for children grades K4-12. The burden of prevention and protection belongs to adults who are responsible for the health and safety of children. Therefore, we train adults and older adolescents who work in community organizations to recognize potential opportunities for abuse. This prevention program will benefit both children and adults as we aim to continually create communities where children can thrive. In accordance with Erin's Law, our program aims to equip children to build healthy lifestyles by teaching them about personal safety. They will learn how to identify inappropriate touching, receive tips for Internet safety, and how to recognize and build a robust network of safe adults. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef929c252f22e04c7aba1ba/1599231074980-8NXS8ZAY48CYEXJOIKSS/Capture.jpg Our Work - Darkness to Light One in 10 children will be sexually abused before the age of 18. Prescott House earned the Partner in Prevention designation by providing Stewards of Children® training to over 90% of its management, staff, and volunteers. This evidence-informed program is scientifically proven to help participants prevent and respond to child sexual abuse. Partner in Prevention was created as a national standard to help parents and caregivers recognize organizations that take child protection seriously by implementing policy and training staff to prevent child sexual abuse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef929c252f22e04c7aba1ba/1593554017999-75GX5DP8Z8CUYMOAH2JX/PrescottHouse-77_websize.jpg Our Work - Forensic Interviews A forensic interview is a structured, child-focused conversation that gives a child a safe and supportive opportunity to share information about possible abuse, violence, or other traumatic experiences. Interviews are conducted by specially trained forensic interviewers who follow nationally recognized, research-based protocols. Interviewers use developmentally appropriate, non-leading questions, allowing each child to share their experience in their own words and at their own pace. The goal is to gather accurate information while reducing the stress of having to repeatedly tell their story. Forensic interviews are scheduled through referrals from law enforcement or the Department of Human Resources (DHR). Interviews are remotely observed by members of the multidisciplinary team (MDT), allowing professionals involved in the investigation to receive needed information while minimizing additional trauma to the child. Prescott House, every forensic interview is centered on giving children a safe, respectful opportunity to be heard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef929c252f22e04c7aba1ba/1593554594071-GRQVKRSIQD3OMDOJ3VJA/PrescottHouse-33_websize.jpg Our Work - Therapy At Prescott House, we believe every child deserves the opportunity safely process their experiences to begin to healing. Our therapists provide high-quality, trauma-focused mental health services at no cost to children and families served by Prescott House. Therapy is tailored to each child’s individual needs and may include evidence-based approaches such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and TraumaPlay™. These approaches help children understand and process traumatic experiences, develop healthy coping skills, and address the emotional and behavioral effects of trauma. Our goal is to compassionately help children and families find healing, build resilience, and move forward with hope. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef929c252f22e04c7aba1ba/1593556393492-BM1TG0OTKYYM3FWKCG5K/PrescottHouse-98_websize.jpg Our Work - Advocacy Prescott House knows that healing is a journey, and the support children and families need may continue long after they leave our center. Our advocates stay connected with families, offering encouragement, follow-up, and connections to community resources along the way. We believe in the strength and resilience of children and families. With caring adults, meaningful support, and the right resources around them, children can heal, grow, and thrive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef929c252f22e04c7aba1ba/1599081859817-FKY4ELC2DSG4D5ZGV2U5/PrescottHouse-212_websize.jpg Our Work - Prevention Our Prevention Program works to build safer communities by educating both adults and children. We train adults and youth-serving organizations to recognize signs of abuse, reduce opportunities for harm, and strengthen the networks of safe, supportive adults around children. Through age-appropriate, school-based programs for students in K4–12th grade, children learn about personal and body safety, healthy boundaries, online safety, and how to identify trusted adults they can turn to for help. At Prescott House, we believe that prevention begins by creating communities where children are safe, supported, and able to thrive and the responsibility for protecting children belongs to adults. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef929c252f22e04c7aba1ba/1599231074980-8NXS8ZAY48CYEXJOIKSS/Capture.jpg Our Work - Darkness to Light One in 10 children will be sexually abused before the age of 18.
