WHAT WE DO
can make a difference in the
life of a child.
Harbor House’s mission is
- To provide a safe and caring place to evaluate the child who may have been abused,
- To encourage the collaboration of social and legal agencies for the benefit of the child,
- to at all times lessen the trauma suffered by the child.
Our STORY
In 1991, the Floyd County Child Abuse Protocol Committee recommended the establishment of a coordinated system designed to respond to child abuse cases. The committee specifically recommended the establishment of a children’s center and the creation of a multidisciplinary child abuse investigation team. After detailed research and much effort, the Northwest Georgia Child Advocacy Center, known as “Harbor House,” was established in the fall of 1994.
More than 7,200 children have been interviewed at Harbor House since it was established. The Safety Awareness For Everyone (S.A.F.E) Program has reached more than 30,000 elementary school children since it began in 2007. Today, Harbor House provides family and child advocacy services to every client that we see, and therapy services for the children that we see and others in the community who cannot find access to care, free of charge.
Harbor House is an accredited member of the National Children’s Alliance and The Children’s Advocacy Centers of Georgia.
