About Us
we are oklahoma county’s ONLY child advocacy center
We are child-centered in everything we do
Organized in 1991, The CARE Center is Oklahoma County’s only child advocacy center, and we are committed to helping children find their voice and begin to heal after abuse as well as preventing child abuse through education.
Our Mission
To prevent child abuse and provide opportunities for healing and hope for children in Oklahoma County.
Our Vision
To end child abuse in Oklahoma County
We Educate
Education is the key to ending child abuse. Through our two abuse prevention programs, we give adults and children the tools they need to prevent child abuse. Recognizing & Reporting Child Abuse & Neglect is our training for adults, highlighting the signs, symptoms, and risk factors for abuse. ROAR is our prevention program specifically for younger children, teaching body empowerment and safety in a fun way.
We Heal
Once children and caregivers are referred to The CARE Center, hope and healing can begin. We serve as a convening organization for many agencies, including law enforcement, child protective services, assistant district attorneys, medical, counseling, and family advocacy. The forensic interview is the cornerstone of our work and plays a significant role in the investigation and management of child abuse cases.
Multidisciplinary Team
The heart of the Child Advocacy Center model is the Multidisciplinary Team approach to child abuse investigations. Together with our partners, we offer brave children and their families wrap-around victim and advocacy services that promote hope and healing.
