Our Mission
The mission of the Child Protection Center of Ross County, a Children's Advocacy Center, is to reduce the incidence and trauma of child abuse through a coordinated multi-agency approach. To promote healthy children, families, and communities through the professional provision of education, prevention and protective services.

What we do

The Child Protection Center was formed to ensure that Ross County and surrounding county children who had been sexually or physically abused received appropriate attention in a timely and family-friendly manner without regard for their ability to pay. 
​
The Center utilizes a multi-disciplinary, multi-agency approach to care and meets the strict standards of a Children’s Advocacy Center set by the National Children’s Alliance.
