Tyler's Justice Center Services

To fully treat and counsel a victim and their family Tyler's Justice Center offers a number of services within their facility.

Family Advocacy - Tyler’s Justice Center for Children provides extensive support and follow-up services to abused children and their families.  Services include crisis counseling, referrals for therapy services, referrals for medical examinations and accompaniment if necessary.  We provide criminal justice education- accompaniment to court proceedings with victim or on behalf of victim, attend monthly case reviews as advocate for victim and family members, act as a liaison between victim/family members and social service agencies. 

Case Management - Case coordination is critical to an effective multidisciplinary team response to child abuse cases.  Our Case Manager is responsible for coordinating the entire team, including the victim and non-offending family members to be present at the Center for forensic interviewing and follow-up case reviews.  This position also provides assessment of the victim and family members for service intervention needs. 

Forensic Interviews - When a child comes to the Center, he or she receives a forensic interview, a conversation with the child about his or her abuse that is carefully designed to eliminate suggestibility using the latest research-based practices.  During the interview, multidisciplinary team members watch and provide feedback to the investigator via a closed-circuit television system in the next room.
