Safe Passage helps sexually abused children begin to heal.
Safe Passage, the children’s advocacy center for the Pikes Peak region of Colorado, provides critical services to the sexually abused children of our community. These direct services include crisis intervention, forensic interviews, forensic medical exams, court preparation and referrals to community resources and counseling. By bringing together professionals in multiple disciplines, investigations are more effective and the trauma of revealing sexual abuse is reduced for the child victims. The agency, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, was founded in 1993 and provides services for approximately 900 children each year.

The heart of Safe Passage is our multi-disciplinary team approach.
When children report sexual abuse, they are brought to Safe Passage to begin the investigation in a comfortable, “child-friendly” environment. By interagency agreement, child protection workers, law enforcement officers, nurses, therapists and prosecutors work together in a team. Combining the wisdom and professional knowledge of team members creates a more complete understanding of case issues and a more supportive response for the child victim and the non-offending family members.

Safe Passage is nationally accredited.
Safe Passage is an accredited member of the National Children’s Alliance, meeting 10 program standards. In addition, the Western Regional Children’s Advocacy Center is a program of Safe Passage, offering specialized training to professionals and development support to communities in 13 western states.
