Children's Assessment Center

The Children's Assessment Center’s mission is to provide a professional, compassionate and coordinated approach to the treatment of sexually abused children and to serve as an advocate for all children in our community. As a collaboration of Harris County Commissioners’ Court and The Children's Assessment Center Foundation, The CAC represents a true partnership between the public and private sectors for the most effective service delivery to children and families. Located at 2500 Bolsover, our state–of–the–art facility was specifically designed to provide an environment that will meet each child’s need for warmth, support, and protection.

The Children’s Assessment Center was designed with the fundamental belief that no one agency or professional can prevent or treat child sexual abuse and their families alone - a multidisciplinary team approach is necessary.

Purpose

Our purpose is to help children learn how to heal, and we will learn from them how better to help others heal. We will be their advocates, and we will measure our success by the results we achieve more than the energy we exert. We will be holistic in our care, and treat each child within the larger context of our respect for the idea of family. We will work with timeliness and efficiency, but never at any cost to the child or family.... Read more

Vision

The vision of the Children’s Assessment Center is a Greater Harris County community in which we heal children who are sexually abused and reduce the number of children who are the victims of child sexual abuse through both treatment and the development of strategies for prevention. We aspire to be a leader and an integral part of a consortium within our community which meets this goal. To achieve this ambition, we will apply our energies, resources, and talents to all dimensions of the issue of child sexual abuse.... Read more

Values

In Our Work with Our Clients and Others
We believe that in our relationship with our clients and the people with whom we come into contact with, we must commit our professional and personal best to all the children of our community. For the child who has been sexually abused, we charge ourselves to help them heal. For all our children, we charge ourselves to help them be healthy in every respect. To these two tasks we will bring professionalism fortified by compassion, understanding, and personal involvement. We will remain child-centered and treat all children with dignity and respect. We will work to earn and keep the trust of every child who comes into our care, respecting and protecting their privacy. We ourselves will be diverse so that we can serve a diverse community with equality.
