  • Child Advocacy and Support Services

    Childrens Advocacy Center for North Texas, Inc. (Center) is a Texas non-profit organization formed in 1997 to empower child abuse victims, their families and our community through education, healing and justice. The Center coordinates the investigation, prosecution and treatment of severe child abuse from Denton, Wise and Jack Counties and provides courtesy services to the surrounding communities when needed. The organization has four facilities in three counties in order to easily accommodate victims, families and partner agencies from this large North Texas geographic region. Services offered include forensic interviews for children who have an alleged crime committed against them; family advocacy services, an extensive mental health program to help families heal from abuse; sexual assault nurse providers and additional staff that help coordinate services. The Center also provides extensive community education and offers a Training Institute to equip professionals in the field with the training necessary to work these cases. The Center also convenes over 67 different partner agencies across law enforcement, the District Attorneys office, DFPS and medical teams in the effort to effectively respond to crimes against children. The Center is supported by contributions from individuals, businesses, foundations and civic organizations. Additionally, the Center receives grants from local, state and federal government agencies.
