Because
the legal system can be difficult to negotiate, and gaining
access to supportive agencies and therapy can also be
complicated, Kristi House Case Coordinators work directly
with families to facilitate these processes.
Case Coordinators determine the
needs of children and families, make referrals for needed
services, assist families in accessing those services,
and assist in the coordination of services with agencies
in the Center, and community, to help reduce system
trauma. Kristi House provides a vital support system
to victims encouraging them to pursue all avenues of
treatment and all legal means to stop the abuse and
ensure long-term recovery.
Case Coordinators provide an avenue
for families to work with law enforcement agencies and/or
the State Attorney's office when a criminal investigation
process is necessary. They also educate the families about
the investigative and prosecutorial process and connect
children and families to appropriate service providers
in the community.
Kristi House Case Coordinators
ensure that child sexual abuse victims and their
families receive:
- all necessary
services applicable to their unique situations
- access to
treatment that is individually tailored to the
specific clinical needs of
the child and family
- victim advocacy
- and system
coordination
