Our Services

At the Hunt County Children’s Advocacy Center and Crisis Center of Northeast Texas, all services are free and confidential for children, adults, and non-offending caregivers. Whether you need immediate crisis support, long-term therapy, or someone to walk beside you through the justice process—you are not alone.

📞24/7 Sexual Assault Hotline: 903-454-9999

Who Can Receive Services

Children & Caregivers: Children who have experienced abuse, sexual assault, or witnessed violent crime (services available to their non-offending caregivers as well).

Please note: For children to receive services, the abuse must be reported to CPS and/or law enforcement. How those agencies proceed with their case will determine which services are available to the children and caregivers involved.

Adults: All survivors of sexual assault—whether reported to law enforcement or not. Adults who experienced childhood sexual abuse also qualify.

From the first outcry to the end of a criminal trial, advocates provide:
- Emotional support and crisis intervention
- Case updates and court accompaniment
- Referrals for additional services and resources
Help with Crime Victims’ Compensation and other victim assistance programs
Highly trained interviewers meet with victims in a safe, supportive environment to gather information for law enforcement, CPS, and prosecution.
- MDT (Multidisciplinary Team) – Professionals working together on child abuse cases (law enforcement, CPS, prosecutors, medical, and mental health).
- SART (Sexual Assault Response Team) – Partners working together on adult sexual assault cases to prioritize survivor needs.

- Acute Exams (within 120 hours): Evidence collection at the hospital, with an advocate by your side.
- Non-Acute Exams (after 120 hours): Non-invasive exams scheduled at the Center. Adults may receive non-acute exams if their assault is reported to law enforcement
Free, trauma-informed therapy is available for life, because healing doesn’t follow a timeline. Services include:
- Individual, family, and play therapy
- Evidence-based practices led by LPCs, LMFTs, and associates
- Support for children, adult survivors, and non-offending caregivers
Therapy services provided by Licensed professional counselors (LPCs), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs), LPC-Associates and LMFT-Associates on site.
Our yoga program goes beyond trauma-informed group yoga classes. It applies a combination of trauma sensitive yoga techniques, mindfulness, meditation, and somatic practices to help survivors self-regulate and learn the complexities of how trauma has impacted their body. While this program is based on components of hatha style yoga that employs physical forms and body movements, the emphasis is not placed on the outward manifestation of the posture. Rather, the focus is on interoception, the ability to feel and interpret bodily sensations while in the posture.
Current clients of all ages are eligible for our yoga program once given a referral from one of our therapists. Participants will be asked to complete a consent form and waiver prior to starting.
Jewel West, a long time staff member and a 500 RYT, facilitates the program. Jewel has completed more than 120 hours of professional training in trauma based yoga practices. She holds advanced certificates in Trauma Informed Yoga, Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy, the Trauma Conscious Yoga Method, Prenatal Yoga, Kidding Around Yoga, Ayurvedic Nutrition and in mindfulness and meditation. Please reach out to her for additional information at Jewel.West@ccnetx.org, or by calling 903-454-9999.
