WOODSTOCK — For families in Shenandoah County, access to child abuse treatment centers has been a problem, with many unable to afford making regular trips to the ChildSafe Center in Winchester, leaving their children without the counseling they need.
The new satellite center in Woodstock aims to solve that problem.
Kelly Bober, executive director of ChildSafe, said the satellite center at 316 S. Main St. has much more of a “country cottage” look than than the urban warehouse appearance of ChildSafe’s Winchester location. She said the Woodstock location is perfect for area families and children who would be much more comfortable in it than in a building like the one in Winchester.
“When a family and a child comes, it feels like a home and it doesn’t feel like an investigative agency,” Bober said. “We want it to feel welcoming.”
