Monarch Children’s Justice and Advocacy Center (MCJAC) and its partners strive to reduce the trauma experienced by children after disclosing abuse. For the past 10.5-years, Astro, a courthouse facility service dog holding the official title of "Director of Canine Services," has been there to support children throughout the entire process.
With the opening of the new Providence Sexual Assault Clinic and Child Maltreatment Center, the long term goal of having all care streamlined to provide multiple services under one roof is closer to reality.
The Providence Sexual Assault Clinic and Child Maltreatment Center of Providence St. Peter Hospital is a collaboration between local service providers, set in a child friendly atmosphere.
