The WV Child Advocacy Network (WVCAN) brings together 21 child advocacy centers to ensure that the children of West Virginia have access to high-quality, evidence-based treatment services that put their wellbeing at the heart of abuse investigations. We bring together passionate individuals through 21 child advocacy centers to ensure that the children of West Virginia have access to high-quality,

evidence-based treatment services that put their wellbeing at the heart of abuse investigations. We educate lawmakers, bringing issues of national importance and local impact to their attention. We keep our member Centers informed about new trends and best practices that help minimize trauma for abused children elsewhere, break the cycle of abuse, and hold offenders accountable. The benefits of WVCANโ€™s work are in the following five areas: community awareness and advocacy, training and technical assistance, evaluation and assessment, funding, and membership.

๐Ÿ’™ Heart of the Mission: Inside WVโ€™s Child Advocacy Centers ๐Ÿงก

This month, weโ€™re spotlighting Hero's Haven Child Advocacy Center WV. ๐ŸŒŸ Heroโ€™s Haven provides children with a safe, supportive place to be heard and begin healing after abuse. Through forensic interviews, advocacy, prevention, and more, their team is restoring hope โ€” one child, one family, and one community at a time across Harrison, Doddridge, Barbour, and Taylor counties. ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ‘

โœจ Fun fact: Hero's Haven CAC is expanding the care they provide! The center now offers in-house therapy services, making it easier for children and families to access trauma-informed mental health support in one familiar place. They're also developing an on-site medical suite, helping reduce travel for children who need medical evaluations after abuse. It's another big step toward ensuring every child receives the comprehensive care they deserve.
