Mission

MISSION KIDS MISSION IS TO ACHIEVE HEALING AND JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS OF CHILD ABUSE BY PROVIDING COLLABORATIVE SERVICES, ADVOCACY, LEADERSHIP AND EDUCATION. MISSION KIDS WAS ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE A MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM RESPONSE IN ACCORDANCE WITH NATIONAL STANDARDS ESTABLISHED BY THE NATIONAL CHILDREN'S ALLIANCE AND THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. WHEN AN ALLEGATION OF CHILD ABUSE IS MADE, MISSION KIDS EMPLOYS A COLLABORATIVE, EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH TO ENSURE COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT FOR VICTIMS AND A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION. MISSION KIDS COORDINATES A MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS, INCLUDING CHILD PROTECTION WORKERS, LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, PROSECUTORS, FAMILY ADVOCATES, MEDICAL EXPERTS, MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, AND SPECIALLY TRAINED FORENSIC INTERVIEWERS. BY LEVERAGING THE EXPERTISE OF THESE DIVERSE PROFESSIONALS, MISSION KIDS FACILITATES A STREAMLINED PROCESS FOR GATHERING CRITICAL INFORMATION, CONDUCTING SENSITIVE INTERVIEWS, AND GUIDING FAMILIES THROUGH BOTH THE LEGAL AND HEALING PROCESSES. THE ORGANIZATION ENSURES THAT VICTIMS HAVE ACCESS TO EVIDENCE-BASED MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, DESIGNED TO ADDRESS TRAUMA AND PROMOTE LONG-TERM EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING. THIS HOLISTIC TEAM RESPONSE NOT ONLY ADDRESSES THE IMMEDIATE SAFETY NEEDS OF THE CHILD BUT ALSO FOCUSES ON LONG-TERM HEALING AND JUSTICE. BY MINIMIZING THE NUMBER OF INTERVIEWS A CHILD MUST UNDERGO AND ENSURING THAT EACH CASE IS HANDLED IN A CHILD-CENTERED ENVIRONMENT, THE PROCESS REDUCES THE POTENTIAL FOR RE-TRAUMATIZATION. THIS APPROACH ENHANCES THE OVERALL EFFECTIVENESS OF INVESTIGATIONS AND LEADS TO BETTER OUTCOMES IN TERMS OF CHILD SAFETY, EMOTIONAL RECOVERY, AND LEGAL ACCOUNTABILITY. IN ADDITION TO DIRECT SERVICES, MISSION KIDS IS DEEPLY COMMITTED TO CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION THROUGH A VARIETY OF EVIDENCE-SUPPORTED EDUCATION STRATEGIES TARGETED AT BOTH CHILDREN AND ADULTS. THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES AGE-APPROPRIATE PREVENTION PROGRAMS IN SCHOOLS, TEACHING CHILDREN HOW TO RECOGNIZE AND REPORT UNSAFE SITUATIONS. SIMULTANEOUSLY, ADULTS INCLUDING PARENTS, EDUCATORS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS NEEDED TO PROTECT CHILDREN THROUGH TRAINING AND EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH. MISSION KIDS ALSO ENGAGES IN PROFESSIONAL TRAINING FOR FRONTLINE WORKERS AND PARTICIPATES IN SHAPING PUBLIC POLICIES THAT PROMOTE CHILD SAFETY AND WELL-BEING. MISSION KIDS EXTERNAL AFFAIRS SERVICES PLAY A PIVOTAL ROLE IN PROTECTING CHILDREN AND STRENGTHENING THE BROADER SYSTEM OF SUPPORT NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY BY ADVISING ON LEGISLATION AND ADVOCATING FOR IMPROVED PUBLIC POLICY; THROUGH RESEARCH EFFORTS AND COLLABORATIONS THAT SHED LIGHT ON WHAT WORKS BEST; AND AS SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS BY OFFERING CONSULTATION AND MENTORSHIP TO OTHER AGENCIES, SHARING BEST PRACTICES TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF SERVICES PROVIDED TO CHILD VICTIMS NATIONALLY AND GLOBALLY.
