Tells a Child’s Story

Davis House Child Advocacy Center is the only child advocacy center serving Williamson County, TN.

When child sexual or severe physical abuse has been reported, children are brought to Davis House CAC, a safe, child-focused environment, to share their experiences in a forensic interview.

Through forensic interviews, child and family advocacy, and trauma-informed therapy, we help each child begin to

heal without having to relive their story again.

Our Mission

 

Davis House Child Advocacy Center acts as a first responder in Williamson County, providing critical support in cases of child sexual and severe physical abuse.

By providing critical services such as forensic interviews, child and family advocacy, trauma-informed therapy, and coordination of the multidisciplinary Child Protective Investigative Team (CPIT), Davis House CAC provides the necessary resources for children to find safety and comfort, heal from trauma, and reclaim their futures.

Our Reach

Davis House Child Advocacy Center serves as the front line of response for children and families in Williamson County when child sexual or severe physical abuse is reported. Each year, we walk alongside hundreds of children, providing a safe, child-focused environment where they can begin to heal after trauma.

Through coordinated services including forensic interviews, advocacy, and trauma-informed therapy, Davis House ensures children do not have to navigate the aftermath of abuse alone or repeat their story multiple times. Our multidisciplinary approach brings together law enforcement, child protective services, medical professionals, and prosecutors to prioritize both protection and justice.

This work is only possible because of the community that surrounds it. As more individuals, families, and businesses step forward to support our mission, our reach continues to grow, ensuring every child in Williamson County has access to the care, protection, and support they deserve.

“If there is one thing I could tell the world it would be this: as long as Davis House exists, there is a safe place for a child to disclose what has happened to him or her and the sooner you reach out to them the better. Real help exists at Davis House. “
