# Oregon Child Abuse Solutions ## Posts - [Cherishing Black Children](https://oregoncas.org/cherishing-our-black-children/): We extend our care, concern, and sympathy to our nation’s Black communities who are grieving the death of George Floyd and their many loved ones who have been murdered, and who live in fear that more loved ones will die senseless deaths. “We Can’t Breathe,” a statement from the Coalition of Communities of Color is the most powerful one I’ve seen. At Oregon Child Abuse Solutions, our 275 professionals in children’s advocacy centers work relentlessly to help children because we believe all children deserve happiness, health, and prosperity. But, for too many Oregon children, the deck is stacked against them […] - [Great Childhood Memories and Adventures](https://oregoncas.org/great-childhood-memories-and-adventures/): Oregon Child Abuse Solutions is grateful to its partners Airstream and KGW8 for elevating the important work of our Children’s Advocacy Centers and joining the effort to create great childhood memories and adventures. Children depend on caring adults and community support for their safety and healing. Together, we will relentlessly fight to end child abuse in Oregon.   - [Oregon Safety Model Demystified](https://oregoncas.org/oregon-safety-model-demystified/): Oregon’s Child Welfare is a major partner of Oregon Child Abuse Solutions. At the local level, child welfare caseworkers work closely with OCAS Children’s Advocacy Centers. But, what is child welfare’s role? And how do child welfare caseworkers make decisions about child safety? The role of child welfare is to ensure that a child’s home is safe. Child welfare professionals, called caseworkers, along with law enforcement officers, may be the first professionals to have contact with a child or family. Typically, if the accused abuser is not residing in the home, or is a stranger, the investigation will be outside […] - [Making Oregon the Safest State](https://oregoncas.org/making-oregon-the-safest-state/): For decades, advocates have focused on how often children are abused. Even major media trendsetters like Netflix, CW, and HBO have released shows depicting the experiences of children in foster care. The hard work of prevalence education has paid off, and many are aware that we have a big problem, but now we must address a bigger question. “What are we going to do about it?” We, in partnership with corporate, foundation, and individuals, including CEO Ted Davis of Airstream Adventures NW, have committed to getting serious about solutions to child abuse over the next ten years. Through concerted effort, […] - [What's in a name?](https://oregoncas.org/whats-in-a-name/): Why OCAS? After 25 years, the Oregon Network of Child Abuse Intervention Centers name is officially out and Oregon Child Abuse Solutions is in! We loved the camaraderie and care “ONCAIC” conveyed… but it’s time we had a name we can say five times fast. Firstly, we’re in love. We feel OCAS will adequately reflect the importance and breadth of our work. Among other things, we develop trainings, contract with experts on behalf of centers, monitor best practices, fill gaps in expertise, build more social and political capital for children, improve systems through targeted projects, and advocate for policies and […] ## Pages - [2024 Annual Report](https://oregoncas.org/cac_report24/) - [Oregon Child Forensic Interview Training (OCFIT Oct 2025 Wilsonville)](https://oregoncas.org/ocfit-oct-2025-wilsonville/) - [2024 CAC Conference for Family Advocates & Forensic Interviewers](https://oregoncas.org/2024-cac-conference-fi-fa/) - [2024 FI/FA Conference Afternoon Program](https://oregoncas.org/2024-fi-fa-conference-afternoon-program/) - [2024 FI/FA Conference Morning Program](https://oregoncas.org/2024-fi-fa-conference-morning-program/) - [Continuing Education Units (CEUs)](https://oregoncas.org/continuing-education-units-ceus/) - [Medical Provider Track Afternoon Session](https://oregoncas.org/1142-2/) - [CAC & MDT Track Afternoon Session](https://oregoncas.org/cac-mdt-track-afternoon-session/) - [Medical Provider Track Morning Session](https://oregoncas.org/medical-provider-track-morning-session/) - [CAC & MDT Track Morning Session](https://oregoncas.org/cac-mdt-track-morning-session/) - [Oregon Child Abuse Symposium Pre-Conference](https://oregoncas.org/ocas-child-abuse-pre-conference/) - [Morning Plenary](https://oregoncas.org/morning-plenary/): Oregon Child Abuse MDTs: The Vital Importance of a Collaborative Response John Casalino, J.D.
