Agency Details:

CALICO Center

CALICO's mission is to provide a supportive environment to interview children and facilitate a collaborative response to child abuse in which the needs of children take precedence.

Description:
Since 1997, CALICO, the Child Abuse Listening, Interviewing and Coordination Center in Alameda County, has served as a multi-disciplinary hub, bringing together police officers, child welfare workers, and prosecutors to respond collaboratively to child abuse allegations, hear children’s testimonies, and link children and families with vital therapeutic, medical and legal support services. CALICO is often the place where abused children recount their experiences in full for the first time. A supportive and effective response from CALICO is therefore crucial in fostering healing and ensuring that offenders are held accountable.
