We are a movement made up of the 64 local children's advocacy centers (CACs) serving children throughout Texas, local professionals investigating and prosecuting child abuse, a committed board of directors, dedicated donors, volunteers, staff and corporate and government partners. The six core priority services of CACTX are guided by our following beliefs:

MEMBERSHIP SERVICES:
We believe access to strong, local CACs will provide young victims with the unique services they need to begin their journey to hope, justice and healing.

EVALUATION AND ASSESSMENT:
We believe ongoing success in the fight against child abuse requires continual evaluation of current efforts and exploration of new, more effective ways to do this work.

COLLABORATION:
We believe that information sharing and networking is critical to innovation in the child abuse field.

ADVOCACY:
We believe in the power of a collective voice to successfully effectuate systemic change that will impact the lives of children scarred by violence and abuse.

COMMUNITY AWARENESS:
We believe that the eradication of child abuse from our society begins with building informed; empowered communities that stand ready to embrace this issue with courage, making it a top priority.

FUNDING:
At the heart of our mission is a commitment to support the sustainability of local children's advocacy centers so that they may continue to help young victims rebuild their lives.

Our goal each and every day is to change the way Texas responds to child abuse so that every child affected by abuse can fulfill their unique potential. Through our commitment to the six core priority areas, we strive to achieve the following vision:

All child abuse victims and their families have access to the vital services available at a nearby children's advocacy center.

Professionals investigating and prosecuting these cases benefit from the support, facilities and coordinating efforts provided by strong children's advocacy centers.

The children's advocacy center model is recognized by key stakeholders at the local, state and federal levels as an effective response to child abuse.

Communities place a high priority on protecting children and stand equipped to take action in this fight.

Texas experiences positive change in the effectiveness of its child welfare and justice systems, allowing for better protection of all children and the consistent restoration of healthy, productive lives for young victims.
