The Courage Center
Napa’s Courage Center, a Napa County District Attorney’s Office program, is committed to the well-being of children and families. As the only nationally accredited children’s advocacy center serving Napa County, we provide forensic interviews and medical exams for children involved in child abuse investigations. Our dedication to trauma-informed services is evident in the welcoming environment we have designed for children and adolescents.
The Courage Center is a safe space designed exclusively for young victims of trauma and abuse. In 2024, the Courage Center experienced a 41% increase in the number of children served. We attribute this to a growing awareness of the youth-friendly services offered at the Courage Center, and referrals from law enforcement. The Courage Center is the hub of Napa County’s multi-disciplinary interview team, which includes law enforcement officers, prosecutors, child welfare workers, and medical and mental health specialists. These dedicated professionals work together every day to achieve justice and healing for abused children.

Family Justice Centers like Monarch put victims first, including children and youth. Monarch is pleased to help further this goal as a Courage Center partner.
