The Child Crisis Center now has a thirty-year history of providing crisis shelter care to young children,
newborn through 13 years in our Circle of Love Nursery and Children's Shelter.  The Center continues to
develop progressive and innovative approaches to working with families and children.  Other communities
in Texas have called upon the Center, requesting advice and assistance in establishing similar programs.

Services are provided to families throughout the El Paso community, regardless of residency, income, age,
ethnicity or culture.  The range of services runs from immediate crisis intervention when a family is facing
an emergency to longer-term education.  Homeless families, families facing medical emergencies,
long-term chronic health problems, substance abuse issues and families with incarcerated persons are all
served on a daily basis.

Our Mission
The Child Crisis Center of El Paso (CCCEP), a non-profit 501c3 organization, began over 30 years
ago with a heartbreaking story- a story that continues to be seen in children at our shelter today.  On
October 13th, 1973, a two-year-old boy was taken to William Beaumont Army Hospital. He was crying
with pain, vomiting, was malnourished, unable to walk and doctors soon discovered that he had had a
fractured skull only one month before.   The child’s parents couldn’t explain any of the injuries.  The
boy recovered from a coma that he fell into, but had lost his sight and is blind to this day. That little boy
was our founder’s grandson.        
     Our founder’s tragic experience of child abuse in her family led her to be determined to prevent
other children from suffering such unnecessary harm.  That same determination is found within our
staff and has led our agency to develop a comprehensive approach in preventing child abuse and
neglect.  
We protect children ages newborn through thirteen from abuse and neglect by providing
emergency shelter, family support services, and family education and prevention services.
