The Madera County Department of Social Services presents a distinctive multi-sensory exhibit that enables visitors to hear, see, and engage with the harsh realities of child abuse. This exhibit is free and accessible to the public. The exhibit is rated PG-13 due to some mature content. Children under age 13 that come with guardians or parents will be allowed to walk through the exhibit but will not be given an audio device. Visually there is nothing disturbing or grotesque in any way. All showings are complimentary, with varying dates and times.
Our department strives in offering the Lisa project, not only to the community, but to community agencies that work directly with children and youth, as it helps provide some insight in having a trauma informed practice and providing education for potential warning signs as mandated reporters.
We have provided the Lisa Project and are grateful for our continued collaboration with local universities with their BSW, MSW, and Nursing programs, local children’s hospital residency program, local non-profit agencies, neighboring counties, and many more.
If you are an agency that would like your staff to walk the Lisa Project please email the DSS-Lisaproject@maderacounty.com directly to reserve a date and time that works for your staff.
