What We Do

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)

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

Our CAC Side

The goal of Children’s Advocacy Centers (commonly referred to as CACs) are to provide a safe, supportive, and child-friendly environment where children who have experienced abuse or trauma can receive comprehensive care. CACs offer forensic interviews, counseling, and support to help children heal while ensuring their safety and seeking justice.

CACs aim to:

Reduce Trauma – Minimize the stress of the investigative process by providing a coordinated, child-focused response.
Facilitate Healing – Provide counseling, advocacy, and medical support to help children and families recover.
Support the Multi-Disciplinary Team – CACs operate under the “Children’s Advocacy Center model” meaning CACs bring together professionals from law enforcement, child protective services, medical professionals, and mental health specialists to provide a coordinated response.
Promote Prevention – Educate communities and professionals to prevent child abuse and improve early intervention efforts.

Our Crisis Center Side

Rape Crisis Centers (commonly referred to as crisis centers or RCCs) are organizations that provide confidential support, advocacy, and resources to survivors of sexual assault. RCCs offer crisis intervention, counseling, and assistance navigating the justice system. They also provide education and prevention programs to raise awareness about sexual violence. The goal of an RCC is to empower survivors, promote healing, and ensure access to critical services in a safe and supportive environment.

RCCs aim to:

Support Survivors – Offer crisis intervention, counseling, and advocacy to help survivors heal.
Empower Survivors – Help individuals regain control over their lives by providing information, options, and resources.
Promote Justice – Assist survivors in navigating the legal system and advocate for their rights.
Prevent Sexual Violence – Educate communities on consent, healthy relationships, and bystander intervention to reduce sexual assault.

By offering trauma-informed care and community outreach, RCCs work to break the cycle of sexual violence and support survivors in their healing journey.
