Dallas Children's Advocacy Center

The mission of the Dallas Children's Advocacy Center is to improve the lives of abused children in Dallas County and provide national leadership on child abuse issues.

The only agency of its kind in Dallas County, DCAC reduces the re-victimization of the child, removes barriers to investigation and treatment, and enhances criminal prosecution with its distinctive multidisciplinary and united approach to child abuse cases. DCAC works in agreement with public and private agencies including Dallas law enforcement, Child Protective Services, the District Attorney's Office, Children's Medical Center (REACH Clinic), and UT Southwestern to improve child abuse cases in Dallas County.

DCAC was a pioneer in the Children's Advocacy Center movement, and today is recognized internationally for its expertise in the identification, investigation and prosecution of child abuse cases, for its cutting-edge therapy programs for victims and for its community and professional education programs.

Since opening its doors in 1991, DCAC has increased the number of victims served annually by 230% reaching 2,740 child abuse victims and non-offending family members in 2008.
