Safe Shores - The DC Children's Advocacy Center is a direct service nonprofit in Washington, DC, dedicated to assisting child victims of sexual and physical abuse. It operates a child-friendly facility and coordinates care through a multidisciplinary team, bringing together medical and mental health providers, social services professionals, victim advocates, law enforcement, and prosecutors to reduce trauma and support healing. As a small to mid-sized organization, it serves the District of Columbia community by intervening and connecting affected families with comprehensive services. Its mission centers on providing intervention, hope and healing for children and families affected by abuse, trauma and violence, and on preventing abuse through education and training. The organization outlines goals to minimize trauma for identified victims, improve investigation and prosecution, promote inter-agency collaboration, prevent further abuse, and train professionals involved in investigation, prosecution and service provision. In March 2020, Safe Shores partnered with the ALA Capital Chapter to host a gift-wrapping event supporting donated presents for children, illustrating external collaboration.
