KIDS Center provides comprehensive evaluations for children for which there is a  suspicion of them having been abused.  

This evaluation consists of a forensic interview and a medical evaluation that does a head-to-toe assessment. Children can refuse examination and questioning at any time, it is voluntary and we will always offer to see them another time  if they are not ready to talk yet.  

Because our evaluations are part of an investigatory process, children are referred to KIDS Center by either law enforcement agencies, child protective services, a community medical provider or a licensed mental health provider. 

There is no charge for these evaluations, however KIDS Center does bill medical insurances to help reimburse the costs.  Families may be billed for lab work if it is needed.

KIDS Center is a regional service provider, serving 7 counties in central and eastern Oregon with training and education on issues related to child abuse.
