Dallas Children's Advocacy Center

Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center (DCAC) is the only agency of its kind in Dallas County that works in agreement with public and private agencies to investigate, prosecute and provide healing services for child abuse cases. Our distinctive multidisciplinary and united approach to these complex and severe cases reduces the re-victimization of the child, removes barriers to investigation and treatment, and enhances criminal prosecution. We are a national and international leader in the Children’s Advocacy Center movement, recognized for our expertise in the identification, investigation and prosecution of child abuse cases, cutting-edge clinical services and programs for victims and their non-offending family members, and our community and professional training programs. In 2018, DCAC was named a “Best Place to Work” by Dallas Business Journal. We are committed to the core values of putting the children first in everything we do, operating as a seamless team, and acting with a servant’s heart. Our mission is to improve the lives of abused children in Dallas County and to provide national leadership on child abuse issues.
