The Children's Assessment Center - Houston-Harris County

The Children's Assessment Center - Houston-Harris County Our goal is to promote the complete healing of child victims of sexual abuse and their families.

The mission of The Children's Assessment Center is to provide a professional, compassionate and coordinated approach to the treatment of sexually abused children and their families, and to serve as an advocate for all children in our community. The Children's Assessment Center (The CAC Houston) provides a safe haven to sexually abused children and their families; a place where they can receive the kind of care and treatment they so richly deserve. We are the Children's Advocacy Center for Houston/Harris County and we employ an extraordinarily effective multidisciplinary team approach in the prevention, assessment, investigation, referral for prosecution and treatment of child sexual abuse. Our mission is to provide a professional, compassionate and coordinated approach to the treatment of sexually abused children and their families, and to serve as an advocate for all children in our community. The CAC Houston is an accredited member of the National Children's Alliance, part of a national movement to create child-friendly intervention systems for sexually abused children, and a member of the Children's Advocacy Centers of Texas. We are also one of the largest child sexual abuse advocacy centers of its kind in the nation. As a collaborative public/private partnership of Harris County Commissioners Court and The Children’s Assessment Center Foundation, The CAC Houston represents a true partnership of the public and private sectors joining to provide the most effective service delivery to children and families.
