ABOUT US

Center for ChildProtection

OUR MISSION

Reduce trauma for children during the investigation and prosecution of crimes against children.

Every day, the Center serves approximately 3-5 new children who have either been physically abused, sexually abused, or have witnessed a violent crime. They arrive at the Center, bravely tell their story to a professional, and begin their journey to justice and healing. Without the support of the Travis County community, this opportunity wouldn’t be possible for these young victims.

It’s not every day we get to see firsthand how our services impacted a family, so I wanted to share this special moment with you.
