SOPHIE'S PLACE is a child and youth advocacy centre focused on providing specialized services to physically and/or sexually abused children up to age 15 in a child-friendly setting. Sophie's Place is the result of significant collaboration between the Surrey RCMP, Ministry of Children and Family Development, City of Surrey, Ministry of Justice Victim Services and Crime Prevention, and The Centre for Child Development. Sophie's Place enables the collaborating agencies to respond to child abuse in a compassionate and highly integrated manner.

Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Some developmental disabilities are "invisible," which means they're not always noticeable to others. It's important to be #supportive, #understanding, never make assumptions about people's abilities and treat everyone with #kindness 💗 #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek
