About us
The Children's Assessment Center (The CAC Houston) provides a safe haven to sexually abused children and their families; a place where they can receive the kind of care and treatment they so richly deserve. Our goal is to promote the complete healing of child victims of sexual abuse and their families. We are the Children's Advocacy Center for Houston/Harris County and we employ an extraordinarily effective multidisciplinary team approach in the prevention, assessment, investigation, referral for prosecution and treatment of child sexual abuse. Our mission is to provide a professional, compassionate and coordinated approach to the treatment of sexually abused children and their families, and to serve as an advocate for all children in our community. The CAC Houston is an accredited member of the National Children's Alliance, part of a national movement to create child-friendly intervention systems for sexually abused children, and a member of the Children's Advocacy Centers of Texas. We are also one of the largest child sexual abuse advocacy centers of its kind in the nation. As a collaborative public/private partnership of Harris County Commissioners Court and The Children’s Assessment Center Foundation, The CAC Houston represents a true partnership of the public and private sectors joining to provide the most effective service delivery to children and families.

We know the process of getting help after experiencing child sexual abuse can feel scary. That's why we designed The CAC to be as welcoming and child-friendly as possible—from the soft lightning and bright colors to the cozy seating. Plus, our Activity Room has tons of toys and games to play with while our clients wait between services.

At The CAC, we believe in creating a place of safety, comfort, and dignity for the children and families we serve. That’s why we’re thrilled to share the transformation of our Rainbow Room—a vital space where we provide clients with essential items like clothing, food, and more. Thanks to the generosity of Building New Foundations, our Rainbow Room is becoming a boutique-style shopping experience. Children and families can select what they need in a space designed to uplift and empower them. This renovation reflects our commitment to ensuring every client who walks through our doors feels seen, supported, and valued. We are incredibly grateful to Building New Foundations for their financial support in making this vision a reality.

A huge thank you to Kolache Factory for their unwavering support of The CAC year after year! Through volunteering and their annual shoe drive, which raises funds to purchase hundreds of shoes for the children and their families at The CAC, they have shown what it truly means to give back to the community. We’re so grateful for this incredible partnership and the impact they continue to make. 💙

The graduation halls are one of our favorite places at our Bolsover building. Each unique handprint is painted and placed by a child, marking the completion of a stage in their healing journey at The CAC. In 2024, 134 children "graduated" from our therapy services program. Although we wish that number of children who need our services was zero, we will continue to support the victims of child sexual abuse and their families during their most difficult time.

We are forever grateful to our corporate partners like Flowserve Corporation, who continuously support us. For the last four years, their Community Impact Program, Flowserve Cares, has left a lasting impression on our campus by lending a hand to spruce up our building exterior. 🌟
