Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center
The Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center (DCAC) coordinates investigation, prosecution, and healing services for over 13,000 children annually in Dallas County who have suffered severe child abuse or witnessed violent crimes, housing key partners like the Dallas Police Department’s Child Abuse Unit, CPS, and a Dallas County Assistant District Attorney to enhance collaboration. DCAC’s forensic interviewers conduct non-leading, video-recorded interviews to reduce trauma and strengthen court cases, while family advocates guide non-offending family members through the judicial system, connecting them to evidence-based therapy and victim services that lower risks of substance abuse, domestic violence, criminal activity, mental health disorders, and self-harm.
