Welcome
 Williamson County Children’s Advocacy
Center (WCCAC) is a non-profit organization that provides
needed assistance to abused children, non-offending family members,
and the professionals dedicated to the intervention,
investigation, prosecution, and treatment options related to child
abuse cases.
It is our goal to minimize
trauma and reduce revictimization to child victims of abuse.
This goal is accomplished by providing a
multidisciplinary response to allegations of child abuse in a
professional and child-sensitive manner and by videotaping
interviews to reduce the number of times a child victim has to
retell his or her abuse to multiple persons.
Children's
Advocacy Center of Texas (CACTX) is launching the
One
With Courage campaign in August to help make a difference
in the lives of the thousands of young Texans who are being
abused. The
Texas
Attorney General's Office is providing some financial support to the
campaign, but CACTX needs your help to reach its goal. Click here to
learn more.

|
Our
multidisciplinary response
includes the vital resources of:
 | law enforcement |
| child protective services |
| victim service providers |
| prosecutors |
| medical personnel |
| mental health professionals,
and |
| victim advocates. |
|
 |
This effective method provides an
important sense of safety and consistency to the children and
families involved. Children and teens
coming to the Center may be victims of abuse and/or
neglect, or may have witnessed a serious crime.

The Center offers
all services
free of charge thanks to grant assistance, individual and business
financial donations, community support, and gifts-in-kind.
