The Saville Center for Child Advocacy

11/13/2026

Sometimes, making a difference starts with a simple conversation. ❤️

Recently, our Executive Director had the opportunity to speak to Guthrie Public Works through United Way of Logan County. Afterward, a gentleman approached with questions about reporting suspected child abuse and neglect.

He shared that he's a volunteer firefighter in a small rural Oklahoma town and often encounters situations involving possible child neglect while responding to calls. He wasn't sure who to contact or how to report it.

After we talked through the process, he now knows what to do.

THIS is why community education matters!

The Saville Center does so much more than what happens inside our walls. Education, awareness, and prevention are huge parts of our mission.

We would love to come speak to your business, civic club, first responders, or community organization about recognizing and reporting child abuse and neglect.

The more people who know what to look for and what to do, the more children we can protect. ❤️

Thank you, United Way of Logan County, for helping us have these important conversations!

Our Partner Agency, The Saville Center for Child Advocacy, spoke at the The City of Guthrie, OK - Municipal Government this morning.

Having a Partner Agency speak at these employee meetings is a great way to share important information with the community. You can learn more about The Saville Center and all our Partner Agencies by visiting https://unitedwayokc.org/partnerships/united-way-of-logan-county/partner-agencies/

❤️ MEET OUR BOARD! ❤️

Behind every strong nonprofit is a board of directors who believe in its mission. At The Saville Center, we are fortunate to have board members who do so much more than attend meetings and make decisions.

Our staff spends their days focused on children and families who need us, and there are simply never enough hours in the day to get everything done. That's where our board steps in.

Sometimes it's something as simple as showing up with coffee or cookies to brighten a long day. Other times, it's rolling up their sleeves to do physical labor, helping with projects around the building, organizing events, fundraising, making connections, or taking on tasks our staff just doesn't have the time to tackle.

They don't just support our mission. They actively participate in it.

These are busy people with careers, families, and responsibilities of their own. Yet they continue to give one of the most valuable things they have: their time.

Every hour they volunteer, every project they take on, and every little act of kindness allows our staff to spend more time doing what matters most: helping children.

And we have even more to look forward to! ❤️

Beginning in January, we will be welcoming several new members to our Board of Directors! We are incredibly excited about the experience, fresh perspectives, energy, and passion they will bring to The Saville Center.

As we look toward 2027, we are grateful for the dedicated individuals who have helped carry our mission forward and excited about the future of our growing board.

To our current board members, thank you for showing up, stepping in, and reminding our staff that we have a team of people standing behind us.

Because at The Saville Center, our board doesn't just lead. They show up. ❤️

August is famous! 🐾❤️

Our favorite four-legged team member has officially been featured as part of Guardify’s Comfort Crew! 🥹

August has a pretty important job here at The Saville Center. She helps children feel safe, brings comfort during difficult moments, and reminds us that sometimes the best kind of support comes with four paws and a wagging tail.

We are so proud of our sweet girl and love seeing her get the recognition she deserves! ❤️

Meet August from The Saville Center for Child Advocacy, a therapy dog bringing comfort and support to children, families, and caregivers.

❤️ Happy Nurse Practitioner Week! ❤️

Today we're celebrating someone who has been a part of The Saville Center's heart and mission for 16 YEARS!

Brandi Watts, our Clinical Services Director, Nurse Practitioner, forensic interviewer, and one of the most dedicated advocates for children and families you will ever meet.

For 16 years, Brandi has been a steady, compassionate presence at The Saville Center. She has helped countless children and families navigate some of the most difficult moments of their lives, providing not only exceptional medical care, but comfort, reassurance, and a safe place to be heard.

Her work goes far beyond medical exams. From conducting forensic interviews and collaborating with our multidisciplinary team to mentoring staff and helping guide the center through years of growth and change, Brandi wears MANY hats, and she wears them well!

And if you've ever met our facility dog, August, you've already met another very special part of Brandi's life! 🐾 August goes home with Brandi each evening, where she's just as much a member of the family as she is a member of our team.

Brandi, thank you for the knowledge, experience, heart, and dedication you bring to The Saville Center every single day. Our community is better because of you, and we are so fortunate to have you on our team.

🧡🖤 A BIG THANK YOU TO OSU'S ALPHA TAU OMEGA! 🧡🖤

We had an awesome group of young men from Oklahoma State University's Alpha Tau Omega fraternity spend their Saturday volunteering at The Saville Center as part of OSU's Into the Streets!

These guys rolled up their sleeves and helped us tackle some much-needed projects around the center, and we couldn't be more appreciative!

As a nonprofit, there's always something that needs a little extra attention, and having volunteers willing to give their time makes a HUGE difference.

Every improvement to our facility helps us continue providing a safe, welcoming space for the children and families we serve. ❤️

Thank you, Alpha Tau Omega, for choosing to spend your Saturday giving back to our community! We loved having you at The Saville Center!

🧡 Go Pokes! 🤠

❤️ A little piece of Saville history! ❤️

Sometimes the smallest things hold the biggest memories. 🥹

Back in November 2013, The Saville Center celebrated the grand opening of our Counseling Cottage! To mark the occasion, staff and community partners came together and each painted a little tile.

Some painted hearts, some shared words of encouragement, and others showed off their artistic talents (we even have a few superheroes in there! 🦸‍♂️).

Those little tiles were put together to create one big, beautiful mural.

And guess what? It's still hanging on our wall today, 13 years later! ❤️

I love that this piece of our history has been preserved. Every little square represents someone who showed up, believed in our mission, and wanted to be part of something special.

The Saville Center has been serving children and families since 1998, and this mural is such a sweet reminder that our community has been standing beside us for decades.

Different people, different artwork, but one shared purpose: helping children and families. 💙

Now for the fun part! 👀

Do you recognize any of these tiles? Did YOU paint one? Were you at the Counseling Cottage grand opening in 2013?

We would absolutely LOVE to hear your memories! Drop a comment and help us put some names and stories to these little works of art! 🎨❤️
