MISSION:
Children’s Safety Center of Washington County (CSC) empowers children to overcome abuse and begin to trust, hope and heal. CSC provides five core services to child victims of abuse and their non-offending family members, each designed to aid in the investigation process and prevent retraumatization. Over 14,000 children have left a painted handprint on CSC’s walls since its opening in 1997, each serving as a powerful reminder that children who visit the center are never alone.
Your support allows CSC to continue providing essential services at no cost to the children and families who need them.
