Helping children through trauma to healing
Warren-Washington CARE Center
Over three million cases of child abuse are reported in the United States each year. Child abuse shatters lives, and it happens everywhere—even here. That’s why we’re here. We lead child abuse victims through trauma to hope.
Finding out that your child has been abused is one of the most stressful and emotional experiences a parent or caregiver could have. The Warren-Washington CARE Center is a safe, calming setting where children are heard and believed, and healing is possible.
Why We Exist
Imagine having to retell a traumatic experience over and over again in a police station, a doctor’s office, a district attorney’s office, etc. Now, imagine having to do that as a child.
As a child advocacy center, The Warren-Washington CARE Center, we minimize the scariness of child abuse investigations and bridge the gap between silence and action.
Our comfortable, kid-friendly environment looks and feels just like a home and reduces the trauma children often feel during investigations. There, a child only has to talk about their experience once, at their own pace, and leave one step closer to feeling better. We also help victims and their non-offending caregivers get the services and referrals they need.

Our Services
Forensic Interviews
Forensic interviews are designed to focus on the child’s well-being while gently gathering information for criminal investigations. They are a vital component of many child protective services investigations.
Forensic Medical Examination
A medical examination can be offered to any child brought to the CARE Center for concerns about abuse or neglect that aren’t urgent. A trained, licensed medical doctor provides all medical services at no charge to the family.
