Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, Children & Youth Services, Domestic Violence, Family Violence Shelters, Homeless & Housing, Homeless Shelters
Mission: The Child Crisis Center of El Paso was established in 1980 as the first crisis nursery in the state of Texas. The Child Crisis Center of El Paso (CCCEP) protects children ages newborn through thirteen years from abuse and neglect by providing emergency shelter, family support services, and family education and prevention services. Our Emergency Shelter services are essential in keeping children safe and secure while opening up a doorway to address the underlying issues that lead to child abuse and neglect. Critical case management (parenting classes, referrals to financial management classes and substance abuse programs, and a collaborative network of agencies and community resources) helps us to alleviate the immediate crisis situation while focusing on eliminating the cause of that situation.
Target demographics: Emergency Shelter: Low-income children between 0-13 years and their families in El Paso, Ft. Bliss, Southern New Mexico, and Far West Texas; No Kidding program: Teens between the ages 16-21 and middle and high school students in El Paso
Programs: The Child Crisis Center provides three main areas of services: emergency shelter for children including case management and supportive services; STEP parenting program, includes parenting classes for parents with children aged 0-18; and the No Kidding:Straight Talk From Teen Parents program, which is a teen peer educator program for the prevention of teen pregnanacy
