We are also engaged in ongoing efforts to address the root causes of sexual abuse and rape in our community, having  joined hands with two other local agencies, CODA (Citizens Opposed to Domestic Abuse) and CAPA (Child Abuse Prevention Association), and the national organization Men Can Stop Rape, to start up local chapters of the Men of Strength (MOST) Clubs in local middle and high schools.

Employing a 16-week curriculum heralded by the National Crime Prevention Council as one of our nation's most promising strategies to prevent domestic crimes, MOST Club inspires male young adults to build and embrace individualized definitions of manhood in ways that promote health, safety, and equality for all young men and women.

We offer a variety of age-appropriate community awareness educational programs, including the Stewards of Children program, to help adults and children increase their abilities to prevent child sexual abuse and sexual assault. We also provide expert consultation to any child serving organizations interested in creating or improving their child protection policy.

For more information regarding services offered to victims of rape or sexual abuse or about our prevention efforts, please call us at (843) 524-2256.

Changing the child abuse system

As a Children’s Advocacy Center, Hope Haven works hard every day to ensure that the system designed to protect children does not, in turn, re-victimize them. We do this by coordinating child abuse investigations, protection, treatment and prosecution efforts through our close partnerships with all of the agencies involved. This multi-disciplinary team approach eliminates duplication of services and ensures that the well being of the child is the top priority in the process.
