A Major Win for Young Victims: Our Waitlist is Eliminated!

On Tuesday, March 4, 2025, we were excited to announce at our 27th annual…

We supported 1,011 children and youth, and their families, in Waterloo Region, Guelph, and Wellington County this past year alone.

With over 100 young people on our waitlist, there has never been a more urgent time to donate. Every young victim and witness of abuse and crime deserves our support.

What is it like for the children we support? Laura Cook sheds some light in this video.

“The support of Child Witness Centre for me was… lifesaving.” - Past client

The vision of the Child Witness Centre is a community where children and youth are safe, valued and heard, empowering them towards strong futures.

We are #grateful for the wonderful media coverage we've received since our big #announcement three weeks ago today that our waitlist has been eliminated! ☺️While we celebrate this momentous #milestone, we know there's still much work to be done as a community! On an ongoing basis, the waitlist may come back if we can't reach our "Child Victims Can't Wait" campaign goal or if we have an influx of cases – among other possible hurdles.🔗 Learn more & find media links: childwitness.com/waitlist-eliminated-announcement/ ...

With Ryan's p#accounting expertise in #accounting, we benefitted greatly – whether he was serving on committees or in the role of Board Treasurer. With his support towards our financial strengthening, it feels appropriate to be celebrating the recent elimination of our waitlist in this photo. We wish Ryan and his family the best in their next chapter! ... See MoreSee Less

Did you know nearly twice every week, a child or youth becomes a victim or witness of crime in #guelph and #Wellington County? Adverse childhood experiences (#ACES) are now known to have a negative long-term impact on a person's mental and physical health, well into adulthood.
