In fiscal year 2021, approximately 588,200 children in the United States experienced abuse and neglect, and 1,820 died as a result.1 The effects of child abuse, which can include failure in school, depression, substance use, or involvement in the justice system, can be mitigated if children receive timely, trauma-informed services.  \nThe Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) supports the work and expansion of children’s advocacy centers nationwide. In 2022 alone, the 950 centers served more than 380,000 children—treating victims and investigating and prosecuting cases of child abuse—and trained nearly  \n1.5 million people on how to prevent child abuse.  \nPrograms  \nThe Children’s Advocacy Centers National Subgrants program funds children’s advocacy centers—local child-friendly facilities where professionals from victim advocacy and child protective services, law enforcement and prosecution, and the medical and mental health fields work together to investigate, prosecute, and treat child abuse. The multidisciplinary team approach improves interagency communication, increases the effectiveness of the investigation and prosecution, and results in fewer interviews with and less trauma for the child.  \nOJJDP also supports a subgrant program specific to victims of child sexual abuse material and a national military partnership program that explores how the children’s advocacy center model can help address child abuse cases on  \nU.S. military installations.  \nThrough the Children’s Advocacy Centers Membership and Accreditation program, OJJDP’s grantee maintains and enhances national standards for accreditation and offers training and technical assistance to help the centers obtain or maintain accreditation. The standards ensure that all victims served by the children’s advocacy centers receive consistent, evidence-based interventions.  \nTraining and Technical Assistance  \nFour Regional Children’s Advocacy Centers located in the Northeast, South, Midwest, and West help develop and strengthen local children’s advocacy centers within each geographic area. Each center tailors its training and technical assistance to the region and helps the local centers develop comprehensive, multidisciplinary responses to meet the needs of child victims and their families.  \nFor More Information  \nLearn more about the OJJDP-supported children’s advocacy centers at[ojjdp.ojp.gov/programs/childrens-advocacy-centers](ojjdp.ojp.gov/programs/childrens-advocacy-centers).  \n1 Children’s Bureau. 2023.

The Tribe is scheduled to open a second center in 2024. The two facilities will serve Choctaw children who did not have access to critical services for responding to abuse, sexual assault, and domestic violence, as well as  \nnon-Tribal children living in underserved areas of the Choctaw Reservation.  \nThe new centers will provide child victims with culturally informed care, including forensic interviews, sexual assault nursing exams, and therapy. They also will provide referrals for victim services, victim advocacy, and court preparation.
