Canopy Center is a child abuse treatment and prevention agency which was created in 1977 by a young mother. She had been abused as a child and the impact this abuse was having on her own parenting methods led her to bring a national parent support group model to Madison. While most child abuse was addressed by removing children from their families or ignoring abuse until it became more serious or fatal, this method worked to strengthen the family unit and address the long-term effects of child abuse.

Today, the Canopy Center serves over 500 people annually through our programs - the  Oasis family sexual abuse treatment program,  Dane County CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) , and the  Parent to Child program.

Our Mission
Our mission is to help strengthen families and support children, teens and adults impacted by trauma and adversity.
