About
CHILD ASSESSMENT PROGRAM: SUNFLOWER HOUSE'S CHILD ASSESSMENT PROGRAM IS FOCUSED ON ENSURING THAT VICTIMS OF CHILD ABUSE AND THEIR FAMILIES RECEIVE THEIR BEST CHANCE AT JUSTICE AND HEALING. THE PROGRAM WORKS TOWARD THIS GOAL BY COORDINATING A COLLABORATIVE RESPONSE TO CHILD SEXUAL OR PHYSICAL ABUSE ALLEGATIONS, INCLUDING LAW ENFORCEMENT, CHILD PROTECTION WORKERS, MEDICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS, VICTIM ADVOCATES, AND PROSECUTORS. ONCE A CHILD IN JOHNSON OR WYANDOTTE COUNTIES MAKES A DISCLOSURE OF ABUSE AND IT IS REPORTED TO LOCAL CHILD PROTECTION SERVICES OR LAW ENFORCEMENT, A REFERRAL IS MADE TO SUNFLOWER HOUSE. OUR INTERVIEW SPECIALISTS CONDUCT CHILD-SENSITIVE INTERVIEWS OF ALLEGED CHILD VICTIMS USING PROVEN FORENSIC PRACTICES.
