  • Every child reacts differently. Your child may be physically and mentally tired after their appointment so do not be concerned if they do not want to talk at first. Your child may also seem relieved. If you have questions or concerns regarding your child’s behavior, please contact your Family Advocate.

  • Caregivers should not question their child about what has happened to them. If your child comes to you and wants to talk about it, listen and thank them for coming to you. If your child shares additional information, contact your Team Members to ensure any relevant information is being shared.

  • Your Family Advocate is able to answer questions about your child’s case and will confer with the other Team Members on your child’s case to ensure you have the most up-to-date information to best support your child.

  • Call 585-935-7800. A trained professional will provide the support, resources, and guidance you need to take the next step.
