Goals of Butler County Alliance for Children
-
Provide a child-focused facility where representatives from many disciplines, including child protection, law enforcement, behavioral health, medical providers, and victim advocates work together to conduct interviews and make team decisions related to the investigation of child abuse, treatment, management, and prosecution of child abuse.
2. The enhancement of communication and collaboration amongst all agencies involved to reduce trauma to child victims by bringing all disciplines together to share information in a more efficient manner as a means of reducing duplication of service efforts.
3. Provide assistance in the mental, emotional, and physical recovery of child victims and their non-offending caregivers.
4. Assist in the coordination of investigative efforts related to alleged child abuse by ensuring child victims receive a non-leading, legally sound forensic interview.

6. Promote education and awareness of the realities of child abuse throughout our community.
