The Tulalip Tribes is a federally recognized tribe
and successors in interest to the Snohomish,
Snoqualmie, Skykomish, and other allied tribes and

Vision
Our community stands together to eliminate all forms of abuse.
Mission
To provide education, advocacy, and a multi-disciplinary response to decrease re-traumatization of children who are victims of crime.
Why a Children's Advocacy Center?
Children are among the most vulnerable members of our community. When a child is abused, we are here to provide safety, justice, and healing.
Whom do we serve?
The Tulalip Children’s Advocacy Center serves children (and their non-offending family) who are victims of, or witnesses to a crime such as sexual abuse, physical abuse, or severe neglect.
What do we do?
Our goal is to streamline the investigative and prosecution process of child abuse cases in a victim-centered, trauma-informed way. We do this by collaborating with those who may be involved in the case such as policing agencies, forensic medical examiners, child welfare, and those involved in the legal system.
“Protecting Children ◊ Promoting Healing”
"Children are our future.
They are our hope.
They are the answers to our prayers.
No child should have to endure
the pain of abuse and neglect.
The reality is, it does happen.
It is the job of each person to see that it happens less and to
help those who suffer from its pain."
--Wind River Child Advocacy Center
