Opening pathways to healing for child victims of crime.

When the victim of a crime is a child, child-centered case coordination and timely support services can help facilitate justice and healing.

We’re committed to Texas children in need

Our child-centered response prioritizes safety and justice whenever children are victimized by:

  • physical or sexual abuse 
  • witnessing violent crime 
  • mass violence

We coordinate timely services so kids aren’t left to carry trauma alone. 

We improve the way Texas responds to child victims of crime

When a child experiences crime, CACTX and CACs stand ready to respond. In safe, child-friendly environments, CAC multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) work together to support children and caregivers through: 

 

  • multidisciplinary case review
  • case coordination 
  • forensic interviews 
  • medical evaluations 
  • evidence-based mental health services 
  • case management and victim support

Statewide strength. Local impact.

CACTX coordinates people, partners, and systems so children don’t fall through the cracks. Through statewide advocacy, a strong network of local CACs, and a proven multidisciplinary team model (MDT), we deliver lasting change that protects kids and helps families heal.
