Do you suspect abuse
You may be their only hope
Who We Are
Years ago, without a safe place to tell someone about their abuse, Central Oregon children had to retell their stories multiple times. All too often they told an adult who simply did not know what to do or how to respond.
Founded in 1994 by the community, KIDS Center works together with law enforcement, medical providers and social service agencies to create a supportive response to child abuse through a multi-disciplinary team approach. We serve Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson county along with the Warm Springs Reservation at our Bend center.
Meet the Team
KIDS Center's team pairs medical examiners and forensic interviewing staff with a whole team who works hard to ensure children are safe and can heal. Come and meet the team.
Governance
