Mesothelioma and Asbestos

The Children’s Advocacy Center of the Westchester Institute for Human Development in New York has completed a redesign as well as three years worth of renovations. Kids who possess been physically or sexually abused can come to the center instead of being shuffled about from the emergency room to the police station to social services as well as the prosecutor’s office. The Children’s Advocacy Center aims to make reporting abuse less traumatic to the kids who possess already been traumatized.

Renovations included asbestos abatement that increased the project costs to $500,000. Instead of bare pale walls, an interior designer as well as a team of volunteers transformed the space into a treehouse theme. The center is compliant with the National Children’s Alliance, a national accreditation program.   Approximately 600 kids are served by the Children’s Advocacy Center each year.
