Family Service Coordination

After a child and their non-offending family comes to Children’s Cove the first big question is “what’s next?” We have designed our Family Services program with the commitment to helping each family navigate the complex systems they enter when a child makes an disclosure of abuse. As each case goes through the investigation, prosecution and healing process, our team is there to help the family understand the process, learn about their rights and access resources that will help their family.

Our Family Services program is there to provide information or referrals to community resources and assistance. This could be as simple as a phone call to tell a family where to go, or providing hands on assistance in completing an application for assistance. Team members provide regular follow-up to see if there are resources needed to provide the healthiest outcome for child victims and their non-offending family.

Children's Cove is a proud
department of Barnstable County.
