Zebra Child Protection Centre - Edmonton
About Zebra Child Protection Centre
Before the Zebra Centre opened in 2002, a child who had experienced abuse would be sitting outside an interview room at police headquarters. There were strange people, dressed in uniform, walking through the hallways past them. Concrete walls surrounded the child and fluorescent lights buzzed overhead.
There were no toys, blankets, or other comforts to provide a welcome distraction, no trained advocates to guide that child through what’s about to unfold or to offer a reassuring smile. When it’s time for their interview, the child would be called into a cold, grey interview room. It’s the same room where suspects are interviewed.
Following the interview, that child was left to navigate the daunting criminal justice system and healing process on their own. They might have had to re-live that process many times, telling their story again and again, in many different buildings, to many different adults.
Each time, telling their story becomes more and more difficult. That was 20 years ago, and now today, when a child experiences abuse, they arrive at our Centre.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The EPS and the Zebra center called my child a liar even though she had physical marks and cuts on her arms. The didn't investigate and took the word of the perpetrator despite physical evidence. EPS and Zebra are JOKES!!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This organization is top notch. As if parents and children aren't going through enough having something like this in your corner is nothing less than amazing! The staff and councilors are empathetic and so accommodating. Hopefully no one has to go here but glad the city offers this.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My daughters have both unfortunately had to attend Zebras and they were both treated with the upmost respect. The gentle approach towards my children and myself has been very welcomed after our traumatic experiences. I am very thankful to have such a wonderful organization out there to help us through this tough time.
