Because every child has a right to be safe.
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
The CDC estimates that at least 1 in 7 children in the United States, or around 14%, have experienced child abuse or neglect in the past year. However, this is likely an underestimate due to many unreported cases. Shockingly, in 2020, the toll of abuse and neglect resulted in the tragic deaths of 1,750 children in the United States. Juliettes House, as an Oregon Child Abuse Intervention Center, strives to address this alarming issue by providing specialized medical and forensic assessments to referred children. Our Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy aids in overcoming the aftermath of abuse and neglect. Collaborating with Child Protective Services and law enforcement, we extend year-long family support to connect them with essential community services. Through our "Arc of Prevention" initiative, we conduct child abuse prevention workshops in schools and communities, contributing to a healthier, thriving environment despite the pervasive nature of these challenges.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Juliette's House
Program services include medical assessments, guidance and referral to counseling and other community resources, informational classes for assessment parents, and Safe Kids child abuse prevention workshops. During medical assessments, Examiners (licensed medical doctors) conduct thorough medical examinations, evaluating the overall health of the child. Child Interviewers focus on eliciting reliable statements and maximizing the information gathered from the child, given the child's age, circumstances and readiness to talk. Safe Kids child abuse prevention workshops serve elementary school children, their teachers and parents, with the goal of empowering, supporting and informing. Juliette's House brings the community together in collaboration to intervene and prevent child abuse.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We aim to lead and collaborate on impactful concepts and methodologies, readily shared to uplift all. In our pursuit of knowledge from external sources and continuous assessment of our offerings, we uphold trauma-informed, engaging, creative, responsive, and effective practices. Concurrently, we strive to encourage others to join us on this journey. We envision becoming the foremost experts in our region on childhood trauma and its mitigation. We aspire to serve as consultants to youth-oriented sectors, fostering awareness of abuse indicators and appropriate intervention strategies. As a nonprofit entity, we aspire to set a benchmark for exceptional nonprofit standards. From management and operations to prudent fiscal management, cultivation, development, and effective communication, we aim to serve as a model and advocate for excellence. As we persist in safeguarding and healing children and their caregivers, our dedication to community involvement at all levels grows stronger. We extend our influence across various sectors, promoting our message and seeking greater investment in the well-being of our children.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being - Our focus on trauma recovery services, including therapy for children, directly contributes to promoting mental health and well-being.
Goal 4: Quality Education - Prevention education programs on topics like bullying, consent, and healthy relationships contribute to comprehensive education. Ensuring kids whose education is disrupted by abuse or neglect get the help they need contributes to improved attendance and other outcomes.
Goal 5: Gender Equality - Addressing issues like consent and healthy relationships through our prevention work contributes to achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls.
Goal 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions - Child abuse intervention aligns with promoting peaceful and inclusive societies, providing access to justice for all, and building effective, accountable institutions at all levels.
Education and Awareness: Implementing programs that educate the community about child abuse prevention, consent, and healthy relationships.
Direct Intervention: Providing forensic assessment and intervention services to address cases of child abuse.
Trauma Recovery Support: Offering specialized therapies such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and play therapy.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Expert Team: Skilled professionals trained in therapy, social work, and trauma-informed care.
Collaboration with Institutions: Partnerships with schools, local providers, law enforcement agencies, and other stakeholders to address child abuse comprehensively.
Community Engagement: Strong communication and engagement strategies to involve the community in awareness and prevention efforts.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Achievements: We've built a comprehensive (all-ages) prevention education program that reaches 4000-5000 people per year, from pre-K to adults who work with kids. We have grown our therapy team to multiple therapists, each with a full case-load of internal referrals, reaching. Our therapy has significantly higher completion rates and achieves a sustained reduction in symptoms.
Future Goals: Expanding the reach of education programs; developing curricula and programs for training other prevention programs in our methods; continually updating therapeutic methods to align with the latest research in trauma recovery and building secure attachments between kids and their non-offending caregivers.
