Child Sex Abuse Resources

If your family is dealing with a child sexual abuse issue or concern, we recommend that you contact the primary provider of medically-based child abuse assessment and intervention in your area immediately. You may wish to review the provider's web site and contact the provider initially on an anonymous basis to learn about their services. Their services are essential. However, they are not a substitute for a private attorney to protect your child's interests. The providers are:

CARES Northwest (Multnomah and Washington Counties)

Children's Center (Clackamas County)

All other Oregon counties.
