Family Advocacy

Children, and non-offending caregivers, may need support and services during all or parts of the abuse investigation process. Through on-site staffing and partnerships with Safe Harbors of the Finger Lakes, the Crime Victim Specialist of the New York State Police, and the Victim Witness Coordination Program of the Ontario District Attorney’s Office, we can provide crisis support and ongoing support to children and their non-offending caregivers. Trained advocates will work with your family to help you understand the process and assist you with obtaining the necessary services and support to help your child and family. 

 


Child Forensic Interviews

We provide a child-friendly environment where trained professionals can perform forensic interviews. (These neutral, fact-finding interviews would otherwise be conducted in an uncomfortable setting.) By providing age-appropriate rooms for forensic interviews to investigate allegations of child abuse, we can help minimize additional trauma to children.

Reporting Abuse

If you suspect a child you know is being abused, call the New York State Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-342-3720, or contact your local law enforcement agency.

If you have additional questions about suspected abuse, call us at (585) 394-2573.
