The Child Witness Centre (CWC) is a registered charity that has been in existence since 1981, led by a Board of Directors with varied backgrounds and professional expertise. It provides support, education and advocacy to young people who are victims or witnesses of abuse or crime, and their families, in Waterloo Region and Guelph and Wellington County.

In Waterloo Region, MORE THAN TWICE A DAY a young person finds the courage to tell someone about the abuse they have experienced. Further to this, local police press an average of 11 charges PER WEEK for crimes directly harming a child or youth.

Year over year, the demand in the community for CWC’s services continue to increase. Even through the COVID-19 pandemic, it has seen this trend continue. In 2022-23, it anticipates once again helping over 1,700 young people across Waterloo Region, Guelph, and Wellington County.

CWC delivers a vital service to victimized children, youth, and their families. If it didn’t exist, no one would be there to help them navigate the criminal justice system, a system that is often complex, adversarial, and not set up to meet the needs of young victims and witnesses.
