About The Saville Center

At The Saville Center, we believe every child deserves a safe, loving, and supportive environment to grow and heal. Founded in 1998, our center exists for one purpose: to stand beside children and families in their most vulnerable moments—with compassion, protection, and hope.

We serve children in Payne and Logan counties who have experienced abuse, neglect, or trauma. Through a team of dedicated professionals and a network of caring partners, we help guide families from crisis toward healing. Our work happens quietly, behind closed doors, but its impact is lifelong.

We provide:

• Forensic interviews in a safe, child-friendly space to minimize additional trauma.

• Medical evaluations by skilled professionals trained in child abuse care.

• Advocacy that walks alongside families—offering answers, support, and comfort through investigations, court, and beyond.

• Access to trauma-informed therapy and resources that help children and their caregivers begin to feel whole again.

• And even a facility dog, Kelmar, who brings calm and comfort during incredibly difficult moments.

Every child who walks through our doors is met with warmth, understanding, and a promise: you are not alone. Our staff, board members, volunteers, and community partners pour their hearts into this work because we know—every child deserves a chance to heal, to grow, and to dream again.

We don’t just respond to abuse. We work every day to prevent it, to raise awareness, and to build a community that refuses to turn away from children in need.

The Saville Center is more than a building. It’s a place of refuge. A place of courage. A place of new beginnings.
