Children's Center

Mission

The mission of Children’s Center is to work with the community to end child abuse and neglect through assessment, treatment, and prevention; we are working to build a world where every child feels safe, valued, and heard.

Bottom Line for Portland

Children who’ve experienced abuse or neglect often face lifelong challenges, everything from risky behavior and chronic illness to mental health struggles, academic setbacks, and even early mortality. The effects ripple outward, diminishing the well-being of our entire community.

When you support the Children’s Center, you do more than donate, you change these outcomes. You give children and their protective families the tools to heal, regain stability, and envision a healthy, hopeful future. Your support builds stronger, healthier communities.
