Who We Are

Heartford House serves as the primary Child Advocacy Center for Tippecanoe and the surrounding counties. Our purpose is to provide children who have been a victim or witness to a crime the opportunity to participate in a forensic interview and receive support via advocacy services. During the forensic interview, the non-offending caregiver will likely meet with an advocate who will explain the forensic interview process and provide referrals to medical and mental health services as needed. Heartford House exists within a Multi-Disciplinary Team that includes CAC Staff, Law Enforcement, Prosecutor’s Office, Department of Child Services, medical, and mental health services. Every aspect of Heartford House is designed with families in mind, taking care to offer a safe, secure, and private environment. Beyond these services, Heartford House also provides community education and outreach to help individuals prevent and identify child maltreatment and report it. Heartford House works with local schools to provide Monique Burr Foundation training to children teaching them safety and prevention education.
