DCAC

The mission of Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center (DCAC) is to improve the lives of abused children in Dallas County and to provide national leadership on child abuse issues. DCAC coordinates the investigation and prosecution of the most severe cases of child abuse in our community. Last year DCAC served over 12,296 children (and their eligible family members) who were sexually abused, severely physically abused, or who had witnessed a violent crime.

DCAC provides a warm, child-friendly environment to help children who are referred by law enforcement or CPS. Our average client is a 14-year-old girl, sexually abused by someone she knows and trusts.
