The "why" behind MercyOne Siouxland Child Advocacy Center
The MercyOne Siouxland Child Advocacy Center is a comprehensive, child-friendly program dedicated to serving child victims of abuse. Our multi-disciplinary team of caring professionals supports child victims through each phase of the abuse response, including detection and investigation of abuse, as well as treatment and follow-up services for child victims.
Through advocacy efforts and diverse educational offerings, our team is committed to the prevention of child abuse.
Since opening in 1989, the MercyOne Siouxland Child Advocacy Center has served more than 18,000 children. It is one of 250 full members of the National Children's Alliance, a nationwide not-for-profit organization that assists communities seeking to improve their response to child abuse.

The number of children who are abused sexually, physically, and emotionally in our community is growing…doubling over the last ten years. MercyOne Siouxland Child Advocacy Center is located at 701 Jackson St. with plenty of privacy, security and surroundings that help children feel safe.
MercyOne Siouxland Child Advocacy Center is the only one of its kind within 100 miles of Sioux City, assisting law enforcement and the courts in child abuse investigations, allowing the abused to tell their story, keeping them safe and protecting their dignity. No family will ever pay a penny for our services. That is a promise of our mission.
