Tyler's Justice Center for Children is a 501©3, non-profit Children's Advocacy Center which provides services to child victims of sexual and severe physical abuse. In the past, child victims of abuse were interviewed several times, by many people, sometimes in less than desirable locations like a principal's office or even the home of the perpetrator. The Center coordinates members of a multidisciplinary investigative team along with the child and his or her non-offending caregiver, allowing the child to be interviewed by a trained, forensic interviewer. This process lessens the trauma for children and allows them to disclose information in a place where they feel comfortable. The agency also provides crisis counseling and intervention for victims and their families as well as follow-up advocacy services. The Center serves Carroll, Jo Daviess, and Stephenson Counties. Tyler's Justice Center for Children is a recipient of the Northwest Illinois Chapter of United Way.
