Our Partners

The McMahon Ryan Child Advocacy Center is unique in that all the services a victim a child abuse or human trafficking needs are located in one space.

Our services include forensic investigations, advocacy, medical and mental health assistance, all delivered in a warm, child-friendly environment. From the first interview through the trial and beyond, this streamlined approach is made possible by the collaboration of several agencies.
