About Us
One house. One county. One child at a time.
Deirdre's House is the only child advocacy center serving Morris County, New Jersey: bilingual and free to every family who walks through the door.
Our mission
Hope, healing, and justice
We provide a safe, child-friendly place where children who have experienced abuse or neglect are interviewed, examined, counseled, and supported. It is all in one building, by one coordinated team, at no cost to their families.
Everything we do is delivered in English and Spanish, and every service is free of charge.
Understanding the CAC model
One child. One coordinated team.
A Child Advocacy Center brings the professionals involved in responding to suspected child abuse together around the needs of the child and family. This coordinated approach helps reduce confusion, unnecessary repetition, and the burden of navigating multiple systems alone.
Without a coordinated Child Advocacy Center, a child and family may need to navigate several agencies, locations, and professionals separately. With a CAC, the professionals involved coordinate their work around the child and family.
