A child who has been abused is forever
changed. Child victims of abuse need the careful attention of
professionals trained to address their special needs. In the
past, each victim seeking help faced multiple contacts with
different community professionals, creating a maze of confusion
for the child and family. With the support of our community,
Angelina Alliance
for Children enables children to come to one place for safety,
protection, and justice instead of going from agency to agency.
When children arrive, they are welcomed by caring
staff,
volunteers, and the
investigative professionals.
Imagine your child or grandchild
having to give his or her account of abuse to strangers over and
over. A specially trained forensic interviewer talks with
the child to determine the details about the abuse. The
forensic interview enables the child to
only have to tell their story once.
Angelina Alliance for Children strives to provide
healing for children and their families through
on-site counseling and
victim advocacy. We provide each
child with needed treatment by making on-site assessments,
providing-on-site counseling and/or referrals to other qualified
mental health professionals. A Victim Advocate provides
support and services that include follow-up and trial preparation.
REPORT ABUSE If you suspect any case involving child
sexual and/or physical abuse or neglect, you must report it
immediately to your local law
enforcement agency or the Texas Department of Family and
Protective Services by calling:
