The resolution introduced on February 13, 2026, designates February 16, 2026, as Child Advocacy Center Day at the Legislature in West Virginia. It highlights the significant role of the 21 Child Advocacy Centers in the state, which assisted over 4,700 alleged victims of child abuse and their families in the previous year. These centers provide a safe and supportive environment for children to disclose abuse and work collaboratively with local professionals, including law enforcement and mental health providers, to investigate and intervene in cases of child abuse. They also offer evidence-based interventions to aid in the healing process for victims and engage in community education to prevent and report child abuse.

The resolution calls on the Senate to recognize the importance of Child Advocacy Centers and invites both legislators and citizens to acknowledge their contributions to child welfare in West Virginia. Additionally, it directs the Clerk to send a copy of the resolution to representatives of the West Virginia Child Advocacy Network, further emphasizing the state's commitment to supporting these vital organizations.
