VidaNyx Digital Evidence Collaboration for Child Advocacy Centers Now Available in X4Impact Marketplace for Social Tech Solutions
OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- This year has presented unprecedented challenges in supporting child victims of sexual assault, abuse, and neglect. During the global pandemic, children are more often homebound with less access to protective adults they might otherwise find in schools, doctors' offices, or other community activities. According to the National Children's Alliance, 40,000 fewer children were served by the middle of 2020 by child advocacy centers across the country. At the same time, the CDC reports the share of hospitalizations related to child abuse visits has increased, an indicator that the severity of abuse is on the rise.
Adjustments continue to be made to support new approaches for detection and reporting. At the same time, when cases are reported, finding tools to support timely and coordinated responses by child advocacy centers and their various partner agencies is critical to activate lifesaving services.
In an effort to amplify social impact solutions, X4Impact, a market-intelligence platform for social innovation, is featuring VidaNyx's innovative digital evidence collaboration solution in its Marketplace. Their goal is to bring greater visibility to VidaNyx's tools that enable coordinated efforts in child protection, including secure digital sharing of vulnerable video testimonies, acceleration of access to critical evidence, and enhanced partner collaboration. When using VidaNyx, centers report up to 90% cost savings and up to 67% savings in case preparation time, freeing up valuable resources that can be reallocated to services for children and their families.
"We care deeply about delivering leading technology to teams protecting child survivors of sexual assault, abuse and neglect," said Sara Boyd, VidaNyx's CEO.
