Who We Are

Monarch’s Children’s Justice & Advocacy Center is a program of Community Action Council  serving children and families in Thurston County, Washington. MCJAC is one of the many child advocacy centers operating in the State of Washington and one of over 600 nationwide.

Child Advocacy Centers work to reduce the incidence and impact of child abuse by providing a coordinated, multidisciplinary response to victims of child abuse and their families. This response includes prevention, investigation, prosecution, and treatment and includes community partners who are experts in those areas.

The Community Action Council of Lewis, Mason, and Thurston Counties has partnered with Providence’s Abuse Intervention Center for over 30 years, providing a shared space with Monarch’s Children and Advocacy Center. This collaboration has established multi-disciplinary partnerships across all the counties we serve. With the ongoing support of community members, Monarch will now manage and operate the Abuse Intervention Center for Lewis, Mason, Thurston, Grays Harbor, and Pacific Counties. This initiative aligns with the standards for Children Advocacy Centers, ensuring that children and families receive services through a community and trauma-informed approach.
