The Advocacy Center for the Children of El Paso is a nationally accredited children's advocacy center that provides support and assistance to child victims of severe physical and sexual abuse in El Paso County. It was established in 1996 by a group of concerned individuals, including district attorneys, county attorneys, clergy, teachers, and local businessmen, who recognized the need for a coordinated approach to help children who were falling through the cracks of the judicial system.
As a child-friendly facility, the Advocacy Center offers a range of services at no charge, including forensic interviews, counseling, crisis intervention, justice advocacy, and assistance in filing claims. Their mission is to ensure the safety and well-being of victimized children, giving them the opportunity to be heard and to heal. With over 4,300 cases of abuse and neglect referred for investigation each year, the Advocacy Center plays a crucial role in providing support and resources to these vulnerable children.
