Mission Statement
Preventing abuse, advocating for children and fostering hope and healing. It is our goal to reduce the trauma child victims experience by giving them a safe place to share their experiences through a forensic interview and obtain medical assessments after instances of abuse and neglect. Additionally, we strive to assist families by providing advocacy and referrals to services that will set children and their families on the path to healing. Finally, we seek to prevent abuse before it starts by educating the general public on child abuse response and encourage individuals to report suspected abuse to the proper authorities in a way that minimizes additional trauma for the child.
About This Cause
Mary Abbott Children's House is a safe place for children to tell their experiences regarding sexual and physical abuse and neglect, as well as children who are a witness to crime and in drug endangered situations. Abbott House provides forensic interviews, medical assessments, advocacy, and education around the signs of abuse and how to report suspected abuse. Abbott House is one of approximately 850 independent Children's Advocacy Centers across the country accredited by the National Children's Alliance and is charged with serving Cleveland, McClain, and Garvin Counties. Abbott House also serves counties outside of its primary jurisdiction, serving 19 Oklahoma counties in the last year. Although a stand alone non-profit organization, Abbott House works closely with law enforcement officers, the district attorney's office, child protective services, mental health care professionals, and medical professionals to maintain a victim centered, child friendly atmosphere and sensibility during investigations of alleged child abuse.
