Some scary things aren't make-believe.
Halloween is filled with ghosts, haunted houses, and things that go bump in the night. But for some children and families, fear isn't something that disappears when the Halloween decorations come down.
Our homes shouldn't be scary though.
Domestic violence isn't always physical, and its effects can reach far beyond the people directly involved. Children who experience or witness abuse may struggle with anxiety, changes in behavior, difficulty feeling safe, or even guilt over something that was never their responsibility.
That's why the Navajo County Family Advocacy Center is here.
Our Center provides a safe, supportive environment for children who have experienced or witnessed abuse. Through forensic interviews, specialized medical examinations, advocacy, safety planning, assistance with essential needs, and connections to additional resources, we work to reduce trauma and support children and families during difficult times.
We also collaborate with law enforcement, the Department of Child Safety, medical professionals, prosecution offices, and other community partners to help ensure children receive coordinated care and support.
Because hope isn't make-believe.
Every child deserves to feel safe, heard, and supported. While the effects of abuse can be lasting, healing is possible, and no family should have to navigate these challenges alone.
