Why We’re Here
Our Mission
The mission of Brazoria County Alliance for Children is to provide trauma-informed services to children and families affected by abuse through collaboration with a multidisciplinary team and educate the community through outreach and training.
Since 2004
A shared commitment to children
Our History
A community united
for children.
In October 2004, BCAC conducted its first child interview. The center brought a coordinated approach to responding to abuse, helping reduce repeated interviews and improve communication.
Today, staff collaborate with child protection, law enforcement, prosecutors, medical professionals, therapists, and community agencies. A welcoming, home-like setting gives children a neutral place to share their experiences.
