Our Services
Kids Hub provides compassionate, trauma-informed services for children who have experienced abuse or witnessed violence. From forensic interviews to advocacy and counseling, our team works together to support every child and caregiver who walks through our doors.
What is a Child Advocacy Center?
When a child may be experiencing abuse, they need safety, support, and compassion, not more trauma. That’s where a Child Advocacy Center (CAC) comes in.
At Kids Hub, children share their story just once with a specially trained interviewer in a safe, child-focused setting. Then, a multidisciplinary team—including law enforcement, medical staff, mental health professionals, child protection, and victim advocates—works together to protect the child and guide the next steps.
We provide not just interviews, but also referrals for medical care, counseling, advocacy, and long-term healing—all under one roof. This coordinated response puts the child’s well-being first and ensures no one falls through the cracks.
How the Process Works
Children are referred to Kids Hub Child Advocacy Center by law enforcement or the Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services when one or more of the following has occurred:
An allegation of sexual abuse
A report of physical abuse or neglect
A child has witnessed a violent crime
Kids Hub brings together investigators, medical and mental health professionals, and members of the criminal justice system to support each child’s safety, healing, and legal process. All services are free of charge to children and their families.
-
Forensic Interviews
Children share their experiences in a safe, private conversation with a trained interviewer. Sessions are recorded and observed by investigators through closed-circuit video to reduce repeated questioning. Every interview is designed to be neutral, respectful, and age-appropriate.
-
Family & Victim Advocacy
Advocates support caregivers from the moment they arrive. They explain next steps, provide follow-up support, and help families access resources. Their goal is to make sure you feel supported—so you can better support your child.
-
Case Coordination
We work with a multidisciplinary team of law enforcement, CPS, legal, and medical professionals. Together, we review each case and coordinate care to reduce trauma and improve outcomes. This collaborative approach ensures no child falls through the cracks.
