Scotty’s House is the Brazos Valley’s Child Advocacy Center. A safe space, not a shelter, dedicated to supporting child-victims of crime. Since 1995, we’ve worked hand in hand with law enforcement, CPS, and medical professionals to reduce the trauma that kids experience.

To make sure children don’t have to relive their trauma over and over again. By offering everything from forensic interviews to medical exams and counseling, we help kids not only begin their healing but reclaim their childhood.
From Brazos to Washington County, children and families know one team will coordinate every step. If you live in Brazos, Burleson, Grimes, Leon, Madison, Robertson, or Washington, Scotty’s House is here for you.

After Katie received trauma focused counseling, a teacher who knew her the previous year told her mom, ‘I feel like Katie is a whole different child.’ Katie had gone from struggling to get through a day of school to participating in class, making friends, and even lending a hand when friends are having a difficult day.
