Our Children. Our Community.
Child abuse and neglect are not isolated occurrences. Every single day, in our very own community in the Rio Grande Valley, children are physically, emotionally, and sexually abused. In 2022, the CACHSC conducted:
- 2173 Victims of Child Abuse Served
- 3718 Mental Health Sessions
- 1893 Forensic Interviews
- 308 Medical Exams
This unfortunate reality means that this could be happening to a child you know. No child should be subjected to the pain and lasting trauma caused by abuse. Our children are the future of our community, and it is up to us to address this problem and help shape a brighter future for them and their children.
Together We Can
Together we can make a positive impact in our community by helping children and families devastated by abuse. Supporting our efforts through donations, hosting corporate or organization events, and/or volunteering, you are helping victims of child abuse overcome the traumatic event that can have lasting repercussions well into adulthood.
