Keeping Children Safe Down East
Keeping
Children Safe Down East is a Safe Start Initiative in rural Washington
County, Maine.
Our purpose is to reduce the impact of violence in the lives of our
youngest children between birth and age six. We are one of
eleven pilot sites funded by the federal Department of Juvenile
Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). Safe Start is
administered in Washington County by the Maine
Department of Human Services,
the Washington
Hancock Community Agency
and the Regional Medical Center at Lubec. The five-year
initiative runs through October, 2005.
As but one part of this
initiative, Family Counseling Services provides a behavioral health
screening for children ages zero to six who have been witness or party
to violence. These services are offered twice a week, once in
Calais and once in Machias by our masters level clinicians who have
training, supervision and experience with this set of issues and age
group. And, these services have been arranged to address the
most pressing need outlined by Keeping Children Safe Down East - providing
thorough and immediate assessment of a child's needs.
