What Is a Children's Advocacy Center?
Children’s Advocacy Center for Rockwall County (CACRC) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization serving children victimized by sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect, or having witnessed a violent crime. We offer a safe, secure, confidential & child-friendly environment where the healing process can begin. When a child experiences abuse, neglect, trafficking, or has witnessed a violent crime in Rockwall County, they are taken to the CACRC. Here, they will receive a trauma-informed, child-friendly forensic interview conducted by a skilled interviewer. Their non-offending family members will receive the support they need with our family advocacy services, and all will have access to trauma-informed therapy, helping pave a pathway toward the bright future every child deserves. All services are provided free of charge.  


The Need in Rockwall County: 
In 2024, the CACRC served over 600 unduplicated children and family members in Rockwall County. With 1 in every 10 children experiencing sexual abuse before their 18th birthday, our team is dedicated to awareness and prevention in the community through educational programs for adults and students. The CACRC works closely with our multi-disciplinary team of law enforcement, medical professionals, Child Protective Services, and prosecutors to ensure families who have experienced abuse receive every service needed to take action and begin the healing process. 

Mission

The Children’s Advocacy Center for Rockwall County is an interagency, multi-disciplinary partnership dedicated to providing intervention, hope and healing for children and families affected by abuse, trauma, and violence, and to the prevention of child abuse through education and training.

Needs

As the population of Rockwall County continues to grow at a rapid rate, so too does the number of children who have been victimized by abuse, or are at risk of being abused. And so too does our need for operational support.

In order to continue to provide every recommended service to every child who needs us - including forensic interviews, family advocacy, and trauma-informed, evidence-based counseling - and to provide effective child abuse prevention and awareness education, we rely on the generosity of people just like you. Your gift today helps ensure we have the funds required to meet this critical and growing demand in our community.

No matter the size of your gift, the impact of just one day of giving to the CACRC is the power of hope and healing.

Equity Statement

The CACRC is committed to providing a safe, child-friendly environment that is welcoming, respectful, equitable, and inclusive. We believe in making every effort to provide every recommended service to every child affected by abuse.
