KIDS Center’s services are divided into three categories as outlined by our mission statement: dedicated to the prevention, evaluation, and treatment of child abuse.

Prevention and Education programs specifically target professionals, parents and the community at large with training (including the Darkness to Light 'Stewards of Children' program and other in-house curricula) regarding the incidence of child abuse, signs to watch for and other important information about child abuse.  Trainings also include information about how to report child abuse.  These programs are supported by wide-reaching awareness campaigns such as Blue Ribbon in April and the ongoing media campaign in Central Oregon.

Evaluation services provide comprehensive medical assessments and forensic interviews. The reports generated through these evaluations help law enforcement and child protective services with their investigation in the allegations of child abuse.

The treatment program provides therapy and advocacy for child abuse survivors and their families. Treatment can help stop the cycle of abuse by providing pro-active coping skills, addressing self-destructive behavior and helping raise the child's self esteem.  

At KIDS Center, many children find a safe and child/teen friendly environment in which to address the complex variety of issues related to child abuse.
