Services- Child Crisis Center of El Paso

The Child Crisis Center of El Paso's (CCCEP)
main program is the Circle of Love Nursery and
Children's Shelter, which provides 24/7 emergency
shelter for up to 31 children, ages newborn through
13 years for families experiencing a crisis (may
include critical need for parental stress relief,
parent/sibling hospitalization, an incarcerated
parent, a parent being admitted into an alcohol/drug
rehabilitation program, homelessness, deportation,
a temporary Child Protective Placement (CPS),
and/or utilities disconnect). We offer families the
support needed to stabilize their immediate
situation, as well as their lives as a whole to prevent
the situation from occurring again.

CCCEP emergency shelter services include
individual beds/cribs, nutritious snacks and meals,
clothing, toiletries, medical attention, transportation
to/from medical appointments and to/from their
home school, indoor/outdoor recreation, library,
computer lab, after-school tutoring, educational
outings, and case management for the entire family.

Case management includes an assessment of the
crisis situation; development of a service plan, if
deemed necessary by the Case Manager; and
follow-up services after the discharge of the child.
Service plans may include enrollment in parenting,
financial management, anger management, or
substance abuse programs; referrals to community
programs; and/or information on or distribution of
community resources available.

If you or someone you know have children that need
a place to stay due to crisis or urgent need of
respite care, please call us at 915-562-7955 for
information regarding placement for those children.
