About This Cause
Child Advocates of Fort Bend is a nonprofit agency with a vision of ending 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 Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) - We advocate for children in the foster care system through trained community volunteers called CASA 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 therapists and victim advocacy specialists provide free therapy, family support and criminal court advocacy to children and their non-offending family members. We partner with law enforcement and the district attorney's office on the prosecution of the criminal cases. Our third service line, Community Engagement (CE) focuses on Outreach, Awareness and Training to target specific audiences, including educators, parents and other responsible adults in best practices of identification and intervention. Children are also provided with age-level prevention messaging and knowledge of all types of abuse, including cyberbullying and sex trafficking. We also provide prevention messaging and education to the broader community on the signs and symptoms of abuse and how to report.
