We provide expert forensic interviewing, victim and family advocacy services, therapeutic support programs and child abuse prevention education. Working together, we can make our community a safer place for children.
Our Programs
Offering a Helping Hand Every Step of the Way
SungateKids has been providing forensic interviewing and child and family advocacy services for more than 25 years. Our expert interviewers are highly trained, and together have more than 30 years of experience interviewing child victims of abuse. We work together in a multidisciplinary team approach with Law Enforcement, Child Protective Services, the District Attorney’s Office, and medical and mental health professionals to achieve the best outcomes for the children and families we serve.
In addition to our forensic interviewing services, SungateKids offers a full-service Therapeutic Support Program. This program provides both individual counseling and therapeutic support groups for child abuse victims ages 4–18 and their non-offending family members and caregivers.
SungateKids provides comprehensive prevention education for children and adults that empowers them to talk about child abuse and related issues.
