Medcenter One Dakota Children's Advocacy Center

The Medcenter One Dakota Children's Advocacy Center is a program that is committed to improving the response to child abuse. We are a community partnership that utilizes a comprehensive multidisciplinary team approach to investigating child abuse.

Professionals from social services, law enforcement, prosecution, victim advocacy and the medical and mental health communities come together under one roof so that a child only has to tell of his or her abuse one time.

The DCAC is fully funded through grants, donations and third party payers. Supporters include Medcenter One, VOCA, Edward Byrne Memorial Grant, MDU Resources Group, Inc., Ronald McDonald House Charities and the National Children's Alliance.

Incident within 72 hours

Referrals can be made by calling the Medcenter One Children's Advocacy Center at 701.323.5626. If an alleged incident occurred within 72 hours of the report, it is crucial that the physical examination take place immediately.

A way to help

Children’s treasure chest, a part of the Medcenter One Dakota Children’s Advocacy Center (DCAC), provides children and their families who have been traumatized small things that can help make a stressful situation easier for them. The shelves of the treasure chest hold a small bright spot and sense of caring in a situation that can be confusing and sometimes scary. A child may find comfort in the warmth of a blanket or a hug from a soft, stuffed animal. Children can express their stories through art and written means. And for families that drive long distances to the DCAC and spend most of the day with us, meal gift cards and snacks are greatly appreciated.

If you are interested in adding items to the treasure chest, click here to see the wish list.

To make a donation, please call 701.323.5626. Or, you may drop donations at the DCAC, 200 E. Main St. #301.
