Children's Center

Children's Center Work with the community to end child abuse and neglect through assessment, treatment, and prevention.

Children’s Center is a private, non-profit child abuse intervention center accredited by the National Children’s Alliance. Each year, Children’s Center conducts medical examinations and interviews for more than 400 Clackamas County children who are suspected victims of abuse and neglect—while providing resources, referrals, or other support to more than 300 additional families. Families are never billed for services at Children’s Center. Medical insurance and government grants account for approximately 60% of our funding. The remaining costs associated with medically assessing and supporting who are suspected victims of child abuse and neglect are covered by generous donors.

We are incredibly grateful to share that local artist Lindsay Boyer has blessed Children’s Center with another generous donation from her beautiful collection. Her newest shadow box pieces are adding warmth, color, and a sense of calm in our space. 🎨🖼️

Her art is more than decoration on our walls; it is a reminder of hope, strength, and the beauty found in life’s small, meaningful moments. We are deeply honored by her continued generosity and know these pieces will bring comfort and encouragement to the children and families we serve.

Thank you, Lindsay, for once again sharing your talent, creativity, and heart with our community. 💜

Mark your calendars for the 2026 Oregon Child Abuse & Human Trafficking Summit, April 29–May 1, 2026.

Behind every child we serve is a compassionate team making sure they receive the right support at the right time. Our Intake Specialists are often the very first voice families, partners, and community members hear when there are concerns of abuse or neglect. They meet every call with empathy, professionalism, and care.

They coordinate with families, assessment staff, and community partners such as law enforcement and child protective services, carefully documenting referrals and identifying each child’s unique needs to guide the next steps.

Just as important, they offer steady emotional support during overwhelming moments; explaining the process, answering questions, and helping families know what to expect. Their calm presence builds trust from that very first conversation.

We are deeply grateful for our Intake Specialists and the compassion they bring to children and families when it matters most. 💛

Thank you to the Mt. Hood District Kiwanis Clubs for coming together to provide such a generous donation of Bears & Blankets! A few representatives from the different clubs visited the Center last week to learn more about our work while dropping off these thoughtful gifts.

We are deeply appreciative of their kindness and generosity. These physical items bring real comfort, hope, and healing to the children and families we serve.

If you and/or your community group is interested in learning more about our work, we would be honored to welcome you for a tour of the Center and share how you can continue to support healing for children in our community.

Last Friday, we began 2026 by bringing our community together for our Brunch & Learn, we welcomed local elected officials and public leaders into Children’s Center to see our work firsthand and learn how collaboration plays a vital role in protecting children and supporting healing.

We are deeply grateful to Willamette Coffee House for helping create a welcoming space by providing coffee and breakfast burritos, and to everyone who took the time to join us, ask thoughtful questions, and engage in meaningful conversations. These moments of connection strengthen the shared responsibility we all have to keep children safe.

If you or your organization would like to learn more about how we can work together to protect our kiddos and build a safer community, we would love to welcome you for a private tour or at our next quarterly Open House. Please reach out to development@childrenscenter.cc to connect with us. Together, we can make a lasting difference for children and families. 🏡

Thank you to everyone who joined us Wednesday afternoon for our quarterly Community Conversations at Willamette Falls Providence! It was wonderful to reconnect and network with familiar faces from local nonprofits. 👥

Our Healthy Boundaries and Prevention Manager, Justine Kovak, led an engaging panel titled “Sustaining the Mission: Navigating Nonprofit Challenges During Uncertain Times.” We heard from local leaders who shared insights about the funding and operational challenges nonprofits have faced over the past year. A big thank you to our panelists: Simon Fulford, Executive Director of Parrott Creek, Esther Garrett, Founder & CEO of Safety Compass Oregon, and our very own Operations and Community Engagement Director, Laura Sisulak.

We are deeply grateful to our partners with the Safe Kids Coalition, including Clackamas Women’s Services, Northwest Family Services, Parrott Creek, and Safety Compass for helping make this event possible. We’re honored to stand alongside these organizations as we work together to build safer futures and stronger communities for children and families across Oregon. 🌼
