Lassen County’s Mikailia Child Advocacy Center, a centralized location where county agencies can coordinate responses to child abuse, will hold an open house on April 25th, to give the public a chance to see what is being done to assist victims at the center’s new location.
The center, which has moved to 1410 Chestnut Street, provides facilities for recording forensic interviews in a child friendly environment while a multidisciplinary team monitors, and participates unseen, in the process.
The child friendly interview space includes children and teen oriented furniture, painted murals, waiting room toys for siblings and a smart board to record the child’s drawings during the interview for use as exhibits in court.
The center is also used to help developmentally disabled victims of any age.
The goal of the center is to promote hope, healing and justice for children after experiences of child abuse.
Everyone is invited to the open house from 1:00 to 3:00p.m. Stop by and grab a treat!
