The Gonzales Regional Children's Advocacy Center (Norma's House) is one of 70 Children's Advocacy Centers in Texas. We are a non-profit agency that provides services and programs to children who are alleged victims of sexual abuse, severe physical abuse, domestic violence, children who have witnessed a violent crime, and drug-endangered children. With the support of our communities of Gonzales, Lavaca and DeWitt counties, Norma's House enables children to come to one place for safety and protection. It provides an environment which reflects the physical and emotional atmosphere of a home, rather than that of a clinic or an institution. In FY2023, we have helped 581 children, their non-offending family members and adults who were victims of childhood sexual assault seek hope, pursue justice and find healing.

Norma's House serves as the central hub to the Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT), a skilled team of professionals comprised of members of several organizations including law enforcement, child protective services, prosecutors, victim advocates, medical, and mental health professionals. The MDT works together in the investigation, treatment, management and prosecution of child abuse cases.

We are an accredited member of Children's Advocacy Centers of Texas, Inc. and National Children's Alliance (NCA) and receive funding through grants, private donations, and fundraisers.
