Dearing House Child Advocacy Center serves as a vital resource for children and families affected by severe abuse or neglect in Kay and Noble counties. Established in 2003, this non-profit organization is dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing environment where children can share their experiences of trauma without fear of disbelief or blame. The center focuses on children who have faced sexual abuse, with an understanding that one in four girls and one in six boys will encounter such experiences before adulthood. Dearing House employs a multidisciplinary team approach, bringing together child protective services, law enforcement, legal professionals, and medical and mental health experts to offer a comprehensive response tailored to each child’s needs. The center's unique child-centric methodology allows for forensic interviews conducted in a comfortable setting, minimizing the trauma associated with recounting their experiences. Families receive not only immediate support through medical examinations and therapy sessions but also ongoing assistance from victim advocates who help navigate the complexities of the court system and connect them with necessary counseling services. Dearing House distinguishes itself through its low-stress environment designed specifically for children, strong partnerships with community agencies, and its commitment to long-term support for families. As an accredited member of the National Children's Alliance and Child Advocacy Centers of Oklahoma, Dearing House continues to adapt its services to meet the evolving needs of the community it serves.
