William W. Barnes Children's Advocacy Center

William W. Barnes Children's Advocacy Center Serving Rogers, Mayes and Craig counties, our mission is to reduce the trauma of child abuse. Child abuse hurts. Child abuse victims need our support.

It hurts the child, the family, and our community. The mission of the William W. Barnes Children's Advocacy Center is to reduce the trauma of child abuse by providing a safe, child-friendly place where a team of professionals can gather evidence to aid in the investigation and prosecution of child abuse cases. We also support the child and non-offending parent(s) with mental health treatment for t

he child and crisis intervention for the parents. The Center is a non-profit organization serving Rogers, Mayes and Craig County families and is comprised of those entities concerned with the well-being and protection of our children. Our Center provides services at no cost to any family referred by Child Welfare (DHS) or Law Enforcement in Rogers, Mayes, and Craig Counties. In response to the problem of child abuse, the Center supports a team approach to the investigation, prosecution, and treatment of child abuse. In 2016, the CAC provided services to 357 children through a forensic interview, medical evaluation, mental health treatment, or a combination of these services. We also served 246 families in 2016.

💙 To RSU’s President’s Leadership Class — thank you will never feel like enough.

Over the last six months, you have shown up with heart, strong work ethic, and a level of dedication that has truly blown us away. You didn’t just volunteer a few hours here and there… you committed yourselves fully, giving an incredible 574 hours of time, energy, and care to help transform our center.

Because of you, our interior has been renovated into a more trauma-informed space that feels safer, calmer, and more welcoming for the children and families we serve. You helped create an environment that promotes healing, comfort, and hope.
Your hard work will have a lasting impact far beyond what you may ever see.

Thank you, PLC, for your leadership, your compassion, and your commitment to making a real difference. We are forever grateful.

💙 April is Child Abuse Prevention Month 💙

This month, we join communities across the nation in raising awareness and taking action to prevent child abuse and neglect.

Every child deserves to grow up in a safe, supportive environment and prevention starts with education, advocacy, and strong community partnerships.

Our staff recently attended the 32nd Oklahoma Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect, gaining valuable training and resources to better serve children and families in our community.

🌟 Prevention is possible when we work together. If you see something, say something. If you can help, get involved.
