McMahon Ryan Child Advocacy Center Information

Our Vision is a community where all children are free from abuse and exploitation and the community understands the impact of abuse and actively protects our children. Our Mission is dedicated to ending child abuse in our community, through prevention, intervention, and education by facilitating a coordinated multidisciplinary team approach, meeting the needs of children and families. At McMahon Ryan Child Advocacy Center our streamlined approach partners law enforcement, children and family services, social workers, medical professionals, victim advocates, prosecutors, therapists, and volunteers under one roof, and preserves the best evidence for investigators - all in a safe and welcoming environment for the child. We work with all victims and families of child abuse including child victims of human trafficking and gun violence. Outreach is a core part of our mission to end child abuse in our community through prevention, intervention, and education. Staff continuously makes educational presentations to the community and in schools throughout the year. Visit our website or our social media pages to stay updated on how you can partner with us in our fight to end child abuse in Onondaga County. Whether it’s volunteering your time, donating to the center, sponsoring an event, or just spreading the word, every little bit makes an impact on our mission.
