About KIDS Center
Central Oregon’s Children’s Advocacy Center in Bend OR
kidscenter.org
KIDS Center leads Central Oregon’s response to child abuse. Built by the community, for the community 31 years ago, KIDS Center serves children and families impacted by abuse. We are the only regional entity providing comprehensive child abuse evaluations, which include a child-friendly medical exam and forensic interview. We also provide a path to healing through family advocacy and therapy. Because families never receive a bill from KIDS Center, we rely heavily on the community’s generosity to help children heal and reach their fullest potential. Your donation can impact a child’s life for years to come.
