Northeast Texas Child Advocacy Center

The Northeast Texas Child Advocacy Center (NETCAC) is the only non-profit in the eight-county area of northeast Texas that serves as the first stop for children ages 2-17 who have been victimized by sexual abuse, severe physical abuse, or who have witnessed a violent crime or drug use in their home. The children who come through our doors are allowed to tell their experiences in a non-leading way to a trained forensic interviewer rather than having to repeat it multiple times to multiple people, therefore reducing trauma to the victim. Our Center provides a safe, child-friendly environment where law enforcement, child protective services, prosecution, medical, and mental health professionals can share information and develop effective, coordinated strategies sensitive to the needs of each unique case and child. It is our goal to reduce trauma to child abuse victims and their families by offering evidence-based, trauma-informed services.
