About the Center for Child Protection

The Center for Child Protection (CCP) in Austin, TX, is a nationally accredited children’s advocacy center and the only nonprofit in Travis County involved in the investigation and prosecution of crimes against children. For over 30 years, CCP has provided a safe, child-friendly facility where children impacted by abuse or violence can receive trauma-informed services, including recorded forensic interviews, therapy, medical care, and crisis counseling—all completely free of charge in English and Spanish.

In collaboration with CCP’s Child Protection Team agency partners, the goal is to reduce trauma for these children while helping them and their families move forward toward hope and healing. The Center for Child Protection also provides free child abuse education programs for parents, professionals, and the wider community to promote awareness and prevention efforts. Together, with agency partners and an informed, engaged community, CCP is working to end child abuse in Travis County.
