The Center on Child Abuse and Neglect (CCAN) was established in the Department of Pediatrics, College of Medicine, at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in 1992. The purpose of the CCAN is to organize the Health Sciences Center's efforts in the treatment and prevention of child abuse and neglect. CCAN directs research, program administration, clinical services, professional education, program development, and public education in the field of child maltreatment. CCAN provides outpatient psychological services to children, adolescents and families through several ongoing programs. Victims of child abuse and neglect, as well as their caregivers and/or siblings, can receive services.
The Center on Child Abuse and Neglect offers assessment and treatment for children who have been abused or neglected, adolescent sex offenders, and women and the children of women who used inappropriate substances during pregnancy.
