For over twenty years, the Carousel Center has served the child abuse survivors, of Brunswick, New Hanover and Pender Counties in Southeastern North Carolina, to address immediate medical needs, to preserve forensic evidence (to ensure holding child predators accountable) AND, most importantly, for the child survivors and their families to have quality therapy services to heal from the traumatic impact of the abuse. Key Programs: Child Medical Examinations (CMEs) based on the allegation or the interview, the members of the investigative team may decide a medical evaluation is needed. For many children, knowing their bodies are okay is a huge relief. We have rostered medical providers with specialized training in child abuse who conduct the medical evaluations at TCC. Forensic Interviewers are professionals with advanced training on how to talk to children about difficult subjects. It's important that any details about the alleged abuse come from the child. Our interviewers are trained to not ask suggestive questions and to move at a pace that is comfortable for your child. They never force a child to talk to them. Trauma therapy sessions - Without effective therapeutic intervention, many child victims of abuse will suffer ongoing or long-term consequences that may impact them throughout their lifetimes. We provided therapy services for children who have experienced sexual/physical abuse and/or neglect, so they can concentrate on doing the hard work of healing and get back to the business of childhood. Our team of therapists are experienced in working with children and have specialized training in several proven treatment models, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention (CFTSI), Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), and treatment for children with Problematic Sexual Behaviors (PSB). Bi-lingual services are available.
