Tyler's Justice Center for Children is a charitable, not-for-profit organization, funded by grants and private donations. As a Children's Advocacy Center (CAC), we provide free services to children up to 18 years of age who disclose sexual and/or serious physical abuse, as well as their non-offending family members.

Tyler's Justice Center for Children serves as a central location for intake, investigation and follow-up for all sexual and/or physical child abuse victims ages 0 -18 in our tri-county area of Carroll, Jo Daviess and Stephenson Counties. We work closely with Law Enforcement, DCFS and the State's Attorney's Offices in each of our three counties (Jo Daviess, Carroll, and Stephenson) to form a Multi-Disciplinary Team.

Our Falling for Tyler’s Gala will be held November 1, 2025 from 6 PM to 10 PM at Ehrler Ranch Event Barn, 11866 W. Chetlain Lane Galena, Illinois. The evening will consist of live music by local band Ten Gallon Hat, food and drinks, and a silent auction! Come dance the night away, eat great food, and collect awesome items through our silent auction.

It’s because of individuals like yourself that Tyler’s has been open since 2002. We wouldn’t be able to offer victim advocacy/support, forensic interviews, case management, legal and medical resources, and prevention education if it wasn’t for your donations.
