About Nashville Children’s Alliance
Hope. Healing. Justice.
Nashville Children's Alliance is a nonprofit organization that provides services at no cost to children who have experienced sexual abuse, severe physical abuse, or exposure to violence.
Through collaboration with child protection professionals, medical providers, mental health experts, and legal partners, we help ensure children receive the support, advocacy, and care they need from the moment abuse is reported through their healing journey.
Mission
Healing and justice for children who have been abused or exposed to violence.
Vision
A community where every child is safe, supported, and heard.
What is a Child Advocacy Center?
Nashville Children’s Alliance is the Child Advocacy Center (CAC) for Nashville and Davidson County.
Child Advocacy Centers are designed to provide a coordinated response to child abuse. At a CAC, professionals from multiple agencies work together to support children and families in a safe, child-friendly environment. This approach reduces the number of times a child has to share their story and ensures they receive comprehensive care and support.
Our History
Nashville Children’s Alliance was founded in 1992 by a community task force seeking a more collaborative and compassionate response to child abuse. Since then, NCA has grown to serve thousands of children and families each year while working closely with law enforcement, child protection, medical providers, and the legal system.
