CHILD VISITATION & EXCHANGE CENTER In 1999, the SOS Child Visitation & Exchange Center (CVEC) opened to offer a safe, neutral environment for children to be with their parents during supervised visits and exchanges. Children involved in complicated custodial or court-ordered processes can spend time with their non-residential parent in safe & inviting surroundings. Monitored exchanges help eliminate confrontational situations and reduces the potential for violence or conflict when parents must exchange children for visitation purposes. They are open 7 days a week to assist families.

CHILD ADVOCACY CENTER The SOS Child Advocacy Center (CAC) was opened in 2002. As a nationally accredited program, the CAC provides interviews of abused children, as well as providing resources necessary to help victims and their non-offending caregivers overcome the lingering effects of physical, emotional and mental trauma. Our Multidisciplinary (MDT) team approach facilitates greater efficacy in holding perpetrators accountable by evaluating those systems in place designed to procure justice for child victims.
