Children's Justice Center
The Arthur D. Curtis Children’s Justice Center is a nationally accredited Children’s Advocacy Center that provides a safe, child-friendly place for child victims of criminal-level abuse and their non-offending family members.
The center’s multidisciplinary team of trained responders comes together from across agencies and jurisdictions to address crimes against children, including holding perpetrators accountable through the judicial system and sensitively considering children’s health and healing needs.
Center staff includes experts from Clark County, the city of Vancouver, Children’s Center, YWCA Sexual Assault Program and Washington State Department of Children and Family Services. Together they investigate cases, provide support services and help prosecute suspected felony child abuse perpetrators.
