Who Are We?
We are both a Children’s Advocacy Center (Hunt County Children’s Advocacy Center) and a Rape Crisis Center (Hunt County Rape Crisis Center/Crisis Center of Northeast Texas).
Children’s Advocacy Centers (commonly referred to as CACs) are child-focused, community-oriented, facility-based programs in which representatives from many disciplines meet to discuss and make decisions about investigation, treatment, and prosecution of child abuse cases. They also work to prevent further victimization of children.
Crisis Centers are an integral part of the movement to end sexual violence through advocacy, education and public policy.
Our vision is to eliminate sexual assault and all forms of oppression. We work to attain quality services for victims/survivors and we challenge the nation to commit to a rape-free culture.
Being both a Children’s Advocacy Center and a Rape Crisis Center allows us to provide services to:
1) child abuse victims & their non-offending caregivers
2) adult sexual assault victims
3) adults who were sexually abused as children
