A beacon of hope and healing, Safe Harbor Child Advocacy Center is dedicated to serving children who are victims of sever neglect, physical and sexual abuse through prevention, education and intervention.

Safe Harbor Child Advocacy Center, Inc. was established by a group of impassioned individuals throughout the 4th Judicial District of Tennessee to provide the coordination of necessary services in a child-focused and child-friendly home-like setting for our most vulnerable victimized citizens... our children.

Regretfully, in most cases, children have been abused by family members or people their family members knew and trusted. Working with law enforcement, Child Protective Services, specially-trained medical and mental health providers and our District Attorney General's Office, Safe Harbor's goal is to make the process gentler and less traumatic for our children who have suffered so much.

Safe Harbor Child Advocacy Center will bring the investigative team to the child in a warm and welcoming environment, where the child feels comfortable and safe to help minimize the trauma and to maximize the opportunities for healing and protection.
