Call the Oregon Child Abuse Hotline

Reasonable suspicion is enough to call the hotline – you don’t need evidence to make a call. Hotline screeners are trained to help guide you through the process. Call 1-855-503-SAFE (7233)

We know it takes courage to report abuse. Children deserve to be safe - your voice can make the difference.

How can we help?

CARES Northwest Services: Our child abuse evaluation services include medical check-ups, child-friendly interviews, and support and referral services for children with concerns of abuse. We also offer trauma therapy to children who have already participated in child abuse evaluation services, either here or at another children’s advocacy center.

Referring Children to CARES Northwest
