What We Do

Investigative

TCAC coordinates a multidisciplinary team approach in response to allegation of severe child abuse in the Greater Texarkana area.

Healing

TCAC provides a safe place for children and their families impacted by abuse and trauma to begin the healing process. 

Training

TCAC believes education is our best defense against those who seek to harm children and provides expert trainings to the community.

Here at the Texarkana Children's Advocacy Center (TCAC), we provide a safe, child-friendly environment where law enforcement, child protective services, prosecution, medical and mental health professionals can work together to ensure an effective response to reports of child abuse and neglect with the purpose of reducing trauma for child victims, improving outcomes for children and families impacted by abuse, and reducing duplication of efforts between agencies. This Multi-disciplinary Team (MDT) Response is a core part of what we do. 

 

Other core services provided by the TCAC are forensic interviews, family advocacy, therapy, and community education. For more information about each service, please click the individual links below.
