About Denver Children's Advocacy Center
Denver Children’s Advocacy Center (DCAC) is a Denver-based 501(c)(3) child advocacy center that serves as the multidisciplinary hub for investigations, assessment, and healing for children who have experienced or witnessed abuse or violence. Founded in 1995, DCAC coordinates forensic interviews, victim advocacy, medical partners, law enforcement, prosecutors, and mental-health clinicians to reduce trauma and improve outcomes for children.
DCAC operates a Rapid Response team available 24/7, provides evidence-informed mental health assessment and therapy, and delivers prevention and outreach programming in schools and community settings. Recent organizational activity includes expanded outreach and fundraising campaigns (Hope Starts Here / Swing for Hope) and measurable service delivery reported for 2024 and 2025, reflecting continued growth in prevention, interview, and treatment services.
