Child Advocates Of Fort Bend

Child Advocates of Fort Bend strengthens the child's voice, heals the hurt, and breaks the cycle of abuse and neglect for children and families in Fort Bend and surrounding counties. Child Advocates of Fort Bend is a nonprofit agency working to end child abuse in Fort Bend County. We serve child victims of sexual abuse, physical abuse and neglect through a "one-stop", comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach. We operate two nationally-affiliated programs: Court Appounted Special Advocates (CASA) - We advocate for children in the foster care system through trained community volunteers. Our goal is to find children a safe and permanent home. Children's Advocacy Center (CAC) - We provide a safe place for children who have been sexually abused, severely physically abused or witnesses to domestic homicide to disclose their abuse to forensic interviewers. A team of social workers, licensed therapist and victim advocacy specialists provide free therapy, family support and criminal court advocacy. We partner with law enforcement and the district attorney's office on the prosecution of criminal cases. - We match every child in foster care with a CASA volunteer. - We have never turned away a child in need of our services. - All of our services are free.
