Children's justice centers (CJCs) are child-friendly facilities where child victims of abuse are interviewed and medically assessed by professionals specifically trained in the forensic investigation of abuse. Today, we are joined by two women from Heroes Landing Children's Justice Center, a CJC that recently opened in Muskingum County, Ohio. Evonne Saunders is the Executive Director of Heroes Landing, and Amanda McClelland is the SANE nurse. They both share more information on CJCs as well as what they want parents and survivors of abuse to know.

Join us next week to hear from more of the Heroes Landing multidisciplinary team.
