Unity Point Health Allen Child Protection Center

The Allen Child Protection Center (ACPC) provides assistance for children or dependent adults who may be victims of abuse, or have witnessed a violent crime. 

The ACPC uses a multi-disciplinary team approach and works closely with the Iowa Health & Human Services (HHS) and law enforcement. The center provides forensic interviews, medical evaluations, family advocacy services, mental health counseling, and evaluations/assessments for children who have been exposed prenatally or environmentally to dangerous substances. Additionally, we provide children entering foster care with a backpack full of essential and comfort items, and all patients at the Child Protection Center are given a gift at their appointment to take with them to recognize their courage and remind them how much they matter. Our services are always free to the patients and families we serve.
