Children's Advocacy Center Serving Bastrop, Lee & Fayette Counties

Children's Advocacy Center Serving Bastrop, Lee & Fayette Counties The Children’s Advocacy Center exists to provide a coordinated, multi-disciplinary approach to the problem of child abuse in our community.

We aspire to reduce trauma, seek justice, and foster healing and empowerment to child victims of abuse and their non-offending families and caregivers. Our vision is to facilitate the collaboration with agency professionals from Law Enforcement, Child Protection, Prosecution and Medical to assess and support abused children and their non-offending family members. The Children’s Advocacy Center started in Bastrop in a small rented house in 1992. A veteran Child Protective Services (CPS) worker volunteered her time and efforts to keep the Center operational. In 2000, the Center purchased, renovated, and moved into a historic house centrally located to Child Protective Services, the Bastrop County Sheriff’s Office, the Bastrop Police Department, and the Bastrop County Courthouse. In 2002, the Center officially expanded and changed its name to the Children’s Advocacy Center serving Bastrop, Lee, and Fayette Counties. In 2003, to better meet the growing needs of our service area, the Center purchased a second facility adjacent to the main house which is used solely for therapy services. In 2005, the Center became nationally accredited and its in-house SANE program became fully operational. In 2021, the Children's Advocacy Center moved to its current location in Central Bastrop, doubling its footprint and creating the opportunity to not only provide more services, but enhancing the services already provided. The new location includes a permanent, on-site medical suite, a therapeutic wing, and a dedicated family advocacy food and clothing pantry. The Center provides Forensic Interviews, Victim Advocacy, Therapeutic Services and facilitation with 24 Multidisciplinary (MDT) professionals from law enforcement, CPS, Medical, and District/County Attorney’s in the 3 county service area. We are the only agency that provides these services in Bastrop, Lee and Fayette counties, in a neutral, child-friendly setting. Services are provided free of charge and in English and Spanish.

This Valentine’s Day weekend, as you’re spreading the love, we’re asking you to pause for just a moment and give $5 with love to the Children's Advocacy Center Serving Bastrop, Lee & Fayette Counties.

Five dollars may not feel like much, but at the CAC, it really matters.

It’s snacks for a child waiting for a forensic interview.
It’s a birthday cake for a child recovering from abuse.
It’s a winter blanket when comfort is needed most.

And it adds up.

Four gifts of $5 provide a full battery of STI testing.
Six gifts of $5 cover half an hour of specialized trauma-informed therapy.
Ten gifts of $5 provide a Thanksgiving meal for a family.

Small gifts, given with love, become real support for children right here in our community.

If everyone reading this stopped and gave $5 today, we would move closer to our $5,000 goal and make a tangible difference for the children and families we serve.

Will you take a moment right now to give $5 with love - and encourage a few friends to do the same?
