Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Child Abuse Prevention, Crime & Law, Domestic Violence
Mission: We facilitate a collaborative approach to child abuse investigations while providing child victims and their families with support in a safe and child-focused environment. We strive to make the community safer for all children and families through intervention, education and advocacy.
Programs: Children's advocacy program: blue sky bridge embraces the fundamental elements required for a successful children's advocacy center. Four core disciplines (law enforcement, social services, prosecutors and victim advocates) work together within a coordinated team to lead child abuse investigations. These multi-disciplinary teams are committed to providing victims and non-offending family members with coordinated services in a child-friendly facility to minimize the trauma associated with the investigation of child abuse. Activities associated with the children's advocacy program include forensic interviews of children who are possible victims of child abuse or witnesses to crime; crisis intervention, support, referrals and regular case updates for child victims and their non- offending family members, training for multi-disciplinary team members that investigate reports of child abuse. In fye 3/31/17 blue sky bridge provided services to a total of 614 victims, including both child victims suspected of being abused and secondary victims or non-offending family members. Additionally, 222 professionals received trainings provided by bsb on topics related to the investigation of child abuse.
