What will happen at Safe Passage?

When you arrive at Safe Passage, a staff member or volunteer will welcome you into the building and help get you settled in the waiting area. The team will meet with you to explain the process while a staff member or volunteer will sit with your child. After this meeting, the interviewer will introduce themselves to your child and then prepare the interview room. The person talking with the child is trained to conduct interviews in a child friendly, neutral way. After the interview, the child will return to the waiting room and pick up where they left off playing. Following the interview, the team will meet alone with you to discuss next steps.  Your Family Advocate will discuss resources with you such as therapy referrals, Victim’s Compensation, a medical exam, as well as other resources.

What happens after we visit Safe Passage?

After your visit at Safe Passage your Family Support Advocate will be in contact with you to see how you and your child are doing. They will be available to answer any questions for you at the beginning of the investigation and throughout its duration.
