The Childhelp Children's Center of Virginia (CCCV) is a public/private partnership that provides a continuum of integrated services for the efficient and effective intervention of child abuse. All services needed by a victim are housed at a single child-friendly facility, including: medical exam, forensic exam, child protective services, law enforcement services and mental health services. These co-located agencies work together when a report of abuse is received. There is no duplication of effort. Investigations proceed swiftly. Children promptly receive care and treatment. Key evidence is collected and preserved. Prosecutions of offenders are more successful. Most importantly, the CCCV minimizes secondary trauma to victims that can be caused by the intervention process itself.
