First Witness Child Advocacy Center

Our mission is to strengthen our community’s response to child abuse.

Our vision is of a society that supports children and ends child abuse.

First Witness Child Advocacy Center is a safe, child-friendly place for victims of child sexual and physical abuse. Forensic Interviewers work with a  team of investigative professionals in response to allegations of abuse. Through the advocacy program, we believe every child deserves ongoing safety and opportunities to become stronger in the wake of abuse. 

Guided by the families we work with, we are always learning how to better serve our community. We accomplish this by identifying and strategizing for small and large scale changes to bridge gaps. We reach other child advocacy centers and share our model of comprehensive programming and making systems change through hosting and speaking at conferences and providing trainings across the nation.
