The Logan CAC and the new Mingo CAC along with our partners are the front-line responders in Logan and Mingo Counties in West Virginia to reports of child sexual abuse and children who have experienced violence. Since opening our doors,, we have served more than 800 children.
Located in a building owned by the Logan County Commission, the Logan Center offers a full array of staff and programs.
We were incorporated in 2006 and are listed as a public charity with the Secretary of State.

Our Mission:
The Centers we operate belong to the children of Logan and Mingo Counties. Our mission is to provide a child friendly safe location for the Multi-disciplinary Team approach in the investigation of child abuse and to provide services that facilitate the recovery of the victim. The Centers will also offer other services and programs that seek to facilitate the safe and healthy children in our communities.
The Logan and Mingo CACs coordinate the efforts of child protection staff, law enforcement professionals, family advocates, medical experts and mental health clinicians under one roof. Our staff:
All of our services are aimed at reducing trauma so that children and families may begin the healing process. The Logan & Mingo CAC services are free of charge to every client.
Traditionally, children are moved from agency to agency and endure multiple interviews, which creates additional trauma. A child advocacy center (CAC) turns that model upside down by providing one safe, child-friendly facility where child protection, criminal justice, and child treatment professionals work together to investigate abuse, hold offenders accountable, and help children heal.
Our Logan and Mingo centers were able to provide help to 196 children in 2019. Because our model makes children and families feel safer, we’re seeing more child victims of abuse walk through our doors each year.
SEE OUR RESULTSOur staff of experienced professionals are dedicated to helping children heal from abuse in Logan and Mingo Counties. We are equally supported by our Board of Directors — volunteers who are committed to our mission and bring a variety of vital professional expertise and experience to the organization.
In 2016 we added The Mingo Kids New View Teen Advisory Group, this group provides mentoring, tutoring, and awareness to the youth we serve. They also assist in various activities we are involved with.
