About Us
What is Juliette’s House?
Juliette’s House is a Child Abuse Intervention Center and Child Advocacy Center dedicated to serving Yamhill County, Oregon and surrounding counties. Our mission is to provide compassionate intervention through prevention, assessment, treatment, and support for children and families who may have been impacted by child abuse. Our vision is a caring community, free of child abuse, where everyone is invested in raising healthy children.
What is Our Story?
In 1994, local professionals and community leaders came together to establish a child-friendly center for child abuse investigations, aiming to minimize trauma by reducing the need for children to retell their stories at multiple locations. Since opening as a nonprofit in 1997, Juliette’s House has served Yamhill, Polk, and nearby counties, handling over 300 annual medical and forensic assessments.
Generous philanthropists Paul and Juliette Barber donated the building, with the center named in Juliette's honor. In 1998, we launched Safe Kids workshops in schools, later expanding to community Prevention Education in 2016, offering child safety programs from preschool through adulthood. Celebrating over 25 years of service, Juliette’s House remains committed to empowering children, educating the community on abuse prevention, and providing new mental health resources. This work, rooted in a movement that began with local visionaries, has grown thanks to community investment and dedicated professional partnerships.
Welcome! We’re glad you’re here.
