Founded in 1996, Kidz Kottage began as simply a Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) of Professionals (the Southeast Oklahoma Victims Advocacy Board) who envisioned a better system for working with abused children in rural southeast Oklahoma. Through hard work and dedication this team grew into a nationally accredited Child Advocacy Center for Judicial District 17 of Oklahoma, located in Idabel, the seat of McCurtain County.

Kidz Kottage Child Advocacy Center (KKCAC) coordinates a team of Prosecutors, Law Enforcement, Child Welfare, Victim Advocates, Forensic Interviewers, Medical Examiners, and Mental Health Professionals, committed to educating the community on child abuse and addressing cases of abuse with an improved, trauma-informed, systemic response.

KKCAC offers forensic services, as well as victim advocacy, on site, and a host of services through linkage partners. From First-Responders, to the CAC, to Mental Health Treatment, prosecution, and beyond - our goal is to promote healing for each survivor; because we know that healthy children create healthy communities.
