HANOVER — At its gathering on Thursday, March 21, the Hanover Rotary presented a $1,000 check to Deirdre’s House. Established in 1994, Deirdre’s House serves as the primary center in Morris County for child victims of abuse and neglect, as well as for children who have witnessed violence.
It is the sole location in the county where a child victim can undergo a comprehensive process, including interviews and digital recordings by law enforcement, medical examinations and treatment by pediatric abuse specialists, trial preparation, and clinical counseling in either English or Spanish—all within a single facility.
Deirdre’s House eliminates the need for a child victim to undergo separate processes at a police station, hospital emergency room, and counseling center, preventing additional trauma to an already vulnerable child.
