The Child Advocacy Center is an essential resource located on historic Walnut Street that provides a coordinated and compassionate approach to addressing allegations of child abuse in our 14-county service area. Our dedicated team at the Child Advocacy Center in Springfield, Missouri offers a range of services and support for child victims and their families. At the Child Advocacy Center, we provide a safe and inviting space where children can share their experiences and find the courage to use their voice.

Our team of professionals conducts forensic interviews and medical examinations, offers mental health services, and coordinates multidisciplinary teams to ensure comprehensive care for each child. In addition to supporting individual children, we work closely with community partners to prevent and reduce child abuse. Since 1995, our mission has been to support child abuse investigations, provide critical services, and raise awareness in Southern Missouri.

We believe in a community where justice is accessible, prevention is possible, families are resilient, and children can heal. Stand with us in creating a safer future for our children
