Who We Are
In March, 2010, we legally changed our name from Alamo Children's Advocacy Center to ChildSafe.
ChildSafe provides services in a safe environment for child and adolescent victims of sexual abuse. At the center professionals ensure that the child’s needs emotional and medical come first. The mission of ChildSafe is to restore dignity, trust and hope to children traumatized by sexual abuse. The goals of the agency are as follows:
- Ensure the coordination of appropriate and thorough investigation of sexual abuse cases with both public and private agencies
- Provide crisis intervention and on going counseling
- Provide public education and professional training
- Advocate for the child and family during the investigative process
- Provide child sensitive medical evaluation
We facilitate the investigative process through a Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) while providing therapeutic services designed to reduce trauma. By carefully assessing each child’s needs, enhancing family strengths and abilities to support their child, ChildSafe is at the forefront in providing awareness, treatment and education for and sexually abused children. In 2009, over 1,750 children and their families came to our organization in search of support, strength and most importantly, healing.
