Mary Lees House

Mary lee'Lees's House is a child protection and advocacy center established to meet the needs of victims of child abuse and neglect. We provide a child friendly environment for representatives from many disciplines (including law enforcement, child protection, prosecution, mental health and social services) to work together and ensure that child victims receive the services they need under one roof. At Mary lee'Lees's House, over 25,000 children have been served and over 35,000 services have been provided since it opened in 2008. In order to help reduce the additional trauma a child victim may experience and to promote collaboration between agencies, Mary lee'Lees's House provides a facility for the co-location of 5 non-profit organizations. These organizations include the university of south Florida child protection team, the child advocacy center of the 13th judicial circuit court, the corbett trauma center of the crisis center of tampa bay, success 4 kids and families, and healthy start coalition of hillsborough county.
