Windsor Essex Child/Youth Advocacy Centre

The Windsor Essex Child/Youth Advocacy Centre (WECYAC) provides a child-centred, safe location for children/youth to disclose their abuse to a specially trained team of professionals. Prior to WECYAC, children/youth subjected to abuse were interviewed in several locations around the community, by multiple different professionals. WECYAC minimizes the number of times children/youth must tell their stories, reducing the trauma of disclosure. We believe that kids should only have to tell their story once! WECYAC is a partnership among key organizations, community leaders and champions, and government. We share a passion for supporting children/youth and families who have been affected by abuse. WECYAC is also committed to raising public awareness regarding the existence of child/youth abuse in our community.
