About Us

Many people are hurting because of an act of violence committed against them. Anyone – men, women, and children may be affected by violence. Our children are subjected to neglect, physical, emotional and sexual abuse. Research shows as many as 1 in 4 girls will be victims of sexual abuse by the time, they are 18-years-old. For boys, the number is 1 in 6. Often the abuse is a “family secret” passed from one generation to another. There is hope and restoration at the Advocacy Center.

The Advocacy Center for Crime Victims and Children began in 1976 as the Waco Rape Crisis Center. It has grown into an umbrella agency with three programs, the Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC), The Victims Center, and Prevention and Education – offering many services to the hurting in our community. Help victims become survivors - Be a part of the change.
