what we do

The Wayne County Children’s Advocacy Center, Inc. (WCCAC) is a child-oriented facility which serves as a centralized location for interviewing and examining children who are victims of sexual abuse. The WCCAC’s main focus is the health and wellness of the child. Members of the team help the child and family cope with the abuse and begin the recovery process.

› We are moving! - We will be moving our offices to a new location in the middle of February. While this is great news for us, there are some items that we need to make our new home as effective as possible. Please review this flyer for more information.

The WCCAC would like to THANK the 2011 WHS Boys Soccer Team for their contribution to our center. They hosted a carwash and donated 100% of the proceeds to the WCCAC. They raised over $700!! Thanks so much for your support.

› THANK YOU to our community for the wonderful support of our 7th Annual Spare A Child, Strike Out Abuse Skills Challenge (July 30, 2011) that raised over $12,000.00 to benefit children served at the WCCAC!! View photos from the event.

reporting abuse

The longer abuse continues, the greater the potential for serious and long term emotional and psychological difficulties for the child. If you suspect a child is being abused, it should be reported to Wayne County Children Services Board (330-345-5340). If a child is in immediate danger, please call the police. For crisis counseling, call The Counseling Center Crisis Team at (330) 264-9029.
