Organizations Filed Purposes: THE CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER OF GREATER WEST TEXAS, INC.'S MISSION IS TO CHAMPION THE PREVENTION OF CHILD ABUSE AND TO SERVE AS AN ALLY OF ABUSED CHILDREN WITH A DEDICATION TO SECURING A SAFE AND NURTURING HOME FOR EACH CHILD.

THE ORGANIZATION WAS ESTABLISHED TO MAINTAIN A CENTER THAT PROVIDES A CHILD ORIENTED ENVIRONMENT WHERE ABUSED CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES CAN GO FOR EVALUATION, CRISIS INTERVENTION AND EVIDENCE GATHERING, AND TO PROVIDE AN APPROPRIATE VEHICLE FOR CHILD VICTIMS OF PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL ABUSE TO RELAY THEIR TESTIMONY TO MEDICAL DOCTORS AND LEGAL AUTHORITIES.

CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER OF GREATER WEST TEXAS, INC. (CAC) WAS ESTABLISHED IN TOM GREEN COUNTY IN 1991. CONCERNED COMMUNITY MEMBERS WANTED AN ADVOCACY CENTER AS A WAY TO REDUCE RE-TRAUMATIZATION OF CHILDREN BY USING A COORDINATED CHILD-CENTERED APPROACH TO CHILD ABUSE INVESTIGATIONS, LIMITING THE NUMBER OF TIMES A CHILD HAD TO RE-TELL, AND IN ESSENCE, RELIVE THEIR EXPERIENCE. IN 1992 CAC STARTED THEIR FIRST PROGRAM HOPE HOUSE. HOPE HOUSE IS A SAFE PLACE FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES TO VISIT AFTER AN OUTCRY OF ABUSE. THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES FREE SERVICES TO VICTIMS OF CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT ON BEHALF OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AND CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES (CPS). THESE SERVICES ARE CRITICAL FOR THE INVESTIGATION, CRIMINAL PROSECUTION, JUSTICE, AND HEALING FOR THE CHILD AND FAMILY.

EACH CASA'S ROLE IS TO INVESTIGATE EVALUATE, AND RECOMMEND TO THE COURT, WHAT IS TRULY IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD. CASA'S SPEAK FOR THE BEST INTEREST OF CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN ABUSED OR NEGLECTED AND WHOSE HOME WILL BE DETERMINED BY A COURT OF LAW. CASA VOLUNTEERS PROVIDE STABILITY, LOVE, AND GUIDANCE FOR THE CHILDREN THEY SERVE.
