Mission
In Tulsa County there are several agencies that address prevention and treatment of child abuse, but the Child Advocacy Network (CAN) is the ONLY nonprofit that provides intervention services for children and their nonoffending families/caregivers involved in child abuse investigations. CAN is located in a safe, child friendly facility known as the Childrens Advocacy Center, where members of the Tulsa County MultiDisciplinary Child Abuse Team (MDT) are colocated to meet the needs of abused children and their families with compassionate, collaborative, and competent intervention services to stop the hurt and connections to mental health and support services to start the healing. CAN and the MultiDisciplinary Child Abuse Team (MDT) were established by public and private community agencies to address 1) system retraumatization of child abuse victims and 2) coordination of services and programs for child abuse victims and their nonoffending families.
