For a child who has been sexually or physically abused, nothing is more terrifying than the thought of telling someone what has happened to them. Because most children know their abuser, they understand that their disclosure will forever alter life as they know it.

Last year, we provided over 6000 services to over 600 children and their supportive family members.  They came to the Children’s Advocacy Center and received therapy, forensic interviews, and victim advocacy & support.  All services are provided in a nurturing, friendly and safe environment at no cost to the child’s family.

Modeled on the simple but powerful concept of coordination between professionals involved in the system, the CAC preserves the dignity of child victims, maintains their trust, and ensures their best interests remain at the heart of every criminal investigation.  The Children’s Advocacy Center for Kaufman County was established to coordinate the investigation, prosecution, and treatment of child abuse cases across Kaufman county.  We are honored to work alongside law enforcement, district attorney's office, department of family and protective services and more.
