Wynona’s House Child Advocacy Center is a non-profit organization based in Newark, New Jersey, founded in 1999 as the state’s first fully co-located child advocacy center. It serves as a centralized hub for multidisciplinary collaboration among law enforcement, child protection, prosecution, mental health, medical professionals, and family advocates to support child victims of abuse and their non-offending caregivers, aiming to streamline interviews, improve case outcomes, and provide evidence-based behavioral health treatment. Operating within the Essex County context, the center coordinates investigative, prosecutorial, treatment, and preventive services to promote justice and healing for affected families. The organization emphasizes a coordinated, in-person service model that consolidates multiple systems at a single site to enhance safety and support for children. Wynona’s House has engaged in partnerships and development efforts, including community events and collaborations with local institutions, to expand its prevention and support initiatives. }
