 In our continuing efforts to increase access and improve services for children, Wynona’s House has embarked on a capital project to renovate a large building in historic downtown Newark. This centrally located facility will provide state-of-the-art technology and expanded services to Essex County’s most vulnerable population – children. Your support of Wynona’s House will help build a better work for all our children.
Our new child-centered facility will include:
- Child-friendly interview appropriately equipped with cameras and recording devices to reduce the number of times a child must be interviewed.
- Specialized medical exam rooms with the latest technology to minimize the need for emergency room visits.
- Immediate mental health services, including all forms of traditional and alternative treatment modalities.
- Child-sensitive playrooms and waiting areas to give children and protecting family members’ privacy and comfort.
- Education, meeting and training facilities to enhance the quality of services to children.
- On-site parking for families, visitors and staff.
- Central location and easy access to local, public and long distance transportation services.
