Center for Child Protection

The Center for Child Protection, an accredited children’s advocacy center, is the first stop for children in Travis County who are suspected victims of sexual abuse, serious physical abuse and for children who have witnessed a violent crime. The Center is a child-friendly, specially-equipped facility where children go for recorded forensic interviews, medical exams, counseling and intervention during the investigation and prosecution of child abuse cases. It is the only nonprofit in Travis County involved in the investigation of crimes against children. All services are provided to children and their protective caregivers at no charge. In 2008, the Center served more than 1,500 children and 1,300 adults. For more information, please call 512/472-1164 or visit www.centerforchildprotection.org.
