Care House

Care House's Mission is to prevent and reduce the incidence and trauma of child sexual and physical abuse in Macomb County, Michigan through collaborative, multi-disciplinary, and effective family-centered activities.

Care House is a child-friendly, family-centered facility that coordinates the complex investigation, prosecution, and treatment services to victims of child sexual and physical abuse. The major component of this program is the single investigative interview. All of the professionals involved in a case gather at Care House to witness the forensic interview. This eliminates the need for the child to repeat his or her story and relive the trauma of the abuse over and over again.

Care House's single interview promotes collaboration and communication among a group of professionals who previously had limited opportunities for interaction. This team approach expedites the investigation of the child abuse cases, making the process more effective for everyone involved.

Care House offers support, information and educational programs to child victims and their families to promote the healing process and break the cycle of abuse in future generations.

Care House is guided by a strong Board of Directors consisting of a broad base of judicial, law enforcement, business, and civic leaders, as well as community representatives.

Care House continually seeks funding to support the development and expansion of these critical program components. Please click here if you would like to make a monetary donation online.
