Our Programs

CornerHouse’s programming aims to address the short- and long-term effects of abuse for the child, caregiver, and family. Through trauma-informed forensic interviews, mental health services, and family support and stabilization, we help each child and family heal from trauma caused by child abuse.

 

Forensic services

We listen to people share some of the most difficult experiences they’ve ever had. Highly trained interviewers use The CornerHouse Forensic Interview Protocol™, which is person-centered, semi-structured and forensically sound.

 

Family services

CornerHouse’s Family Services team of advocates and therapists work to provide stabilization, ongoing support, advocacy and therapeutic services for children, adolescents, and caregivers.
 

training

Our training program expands our professional expertise and trains law enforcement, child protection services, prosecutors, and others in the fundamentals of forensic interviewing, how to work on a multidisciplinary team in cases of child abuse, and mandated reporting.
