Parents' Quotes

Sunflower House's Interview Rooms and Pediatric Medical Exam Room are Comfortable and Child-Friendly

Interview

Children are referred to Sunflower House when allegations of sexual or physical abuse have been made. Our specially trained, forensic interviewers interview children in rooms that are wired to electronically record the child's statement. Often the recorded interview is used in further investigation or for prosecution in a court of law.

 

Sunflower House Exam Room

Many times children recieve a comprehensive medical evaluation. Some children come to Sunflower House for a medical evaluation only. A Sunflower House medical exam is like going to the pediatricians office for an exam. We provide families with necessary prescriptions, referrals to specialists and primary care physicians and we can also give families gift cards to fill prescriptions when they are needed.

 

Bear Showcase

After forensic interviews and medical evaluations, children are surprised with the the opportuntiy to choose a stuffed animal, book or toy from our Bear Showcase. Each is donated to Sunflower House by community members and supporters.
