Where Small Voices Can Be Heard |
Child abuse is a traumatic and devastating experience for both children and their families. Victims are often confused and blame themselves. The Children’s Justice Center (CJC) is a home-like, child-friendly facility where children receive coordinated services during the child abuse investigative process by decreasing secondary trauma that may be caused by the criminal justice and child protection systems. The CJC is a Salt Lake County government program administered by the Division of Youth Services within the Department of Human Services. The Salt Lake County Children’s Justice Center is an exceptional program, contributing major advancements in the field of child abuse investigations. The program serves 3,700 people annually and provides critical assistance with investigations involving sexual abuse, physical abuse, child homicide, domestic violence related child abuse, abductions, and shaken baby syndrome. The centers are located in neighborhood settings, decorated like “grandma’s house” and designed to help children feel safe and comfortable during the interview process. Children visit the center for about one hour while investigators from law enforcement and child protective services meet with the child and their parents to obtain statements and provide support. Crisis intervention, advocacy, and referral services are provided to help the family cope with the aftermath of abuse. Through the coordination services of the Children’s Justice Center, involved agencies work together to promote the “best interests of the child” in prosecution and protection proceedings. |

The Avenues location had not been updated for several decades. All the rooms needed a
complete overhaul. The kitchen was beige and boring. The cabinets were banged up and
in need of a paint job.

June 2011 Service Project
The South Valley location was beginning to look a little neglected and in need of some
serious attention. We needed to weed the gardens and lay bark around the building. The
grounds required mowing, raking, weeding, removing and trimming trees and shrubs, To

Before cleaning up the mess, we spent a little time making a bigger mess.
A whole lot of clean-up and a couple well deserved breaks...
