Liberty House tells Jervis council it served more than 1,000 children in 2024, opens new clinic in Woodburn
Summary
Liberty House representatives told the Jervis City Council their children's advocacy center served over 1,000 children in 2024, provided prevention education to roughly 1,500 people, recently opened a Woodburn clinic and achieved national accreditation; they thanked the city and police department for partnership.
Bruce Anderson, a representative of Liberty House, told the Jervis City Council on Thursday that the regional children's advocacy center served more than 1,000 children in 2024 and provided prevention education to about 1,500 people.
"Liberty House is the children's advocacy center for serving area and the Polk Counties," Anderson said, and he thanked the City of Jervis and the police department for longstanding partnership. He said the agency recently opened a new clinic in Woodburn and attained national accreditation, placing the center among the top 5% of CACs and multidisciplinary teams nationally.
Cameron Wolford, who accompanied Anderson, said he is glad to be back and emphasized Liberty House's local ties and services for children referred for abuse, neglect, trafficking and other trauma. The presenters asked the council to continue supporting the partnership between Liberty House and local law enforcement.
The council did not take action on the presentation but thanked the guests for the update and for the written materials supplied in the meeting packet. The presentation was given during the council's scheduled public meeting and was part of the evening's consent and action agenda.
