Children's Advocacy Center of Hidalgo and Starr Counties

Dedicated to promoting awareness & providing resources for children & families affected by abuse and neglect in Hidalgo & Starr Counties www.cachidalgo.org

The Children's Advocacy Center serving Hidalgo and Starr Counties, a 501c3 organization, was established in June 2000 as a child-focused facility & community-based program. The Center is one of 500 Children’s Advocacy Centers nationwide, 71 in Texas and the first in Hidalgo County. The Center serves children 2 – 17 years of age who have been sexually, physically, emotionally abused or neglected. 1

in 10 children are sexually abused by the age of 18. Our purpose is to lessen the trauma and to help restore hope in the lives of children who have been abused. We can't change what happened but we can change what happens next. Hope, Healing and Justice help children who have been abused have a bright future.

💙 June is National Children’s Awareness Month.

This month serves as a reminder of the importance of creating safe, supportive environments where every child can grow, learn, and thrive. Together, we can help raise awareness, support families, and advocate for the well-being of children throughout our community.

Every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and heard.

Behind every child is a family navigating an unfamiliar journey.

Family Advocacy helps connect caregivers with resources, guidance, and support throughout the process. From answering questions to helping families understand next steps, advocates play an important role in ensuring children and their caregivers don’t have to face challenges alone.

At CACHSC, Family Advocacy is one of the many ways we help create a supportive path forward for children and families in our community.

Child labor refers to work that deprives children of their childhood, interferes with their ability to attend school, or is mentally, physically, socially, or morally harmful. It is not limited to extreme cases, but can also include situations where a child’s development, safety, or education is compromised.

On World Day Against Child Labour, we recognize the importance of prevention, awareness, and early intervention in protecting children from exploitation. Every child has the right to grow up safe, supported, and able to learn in an environment that prioritizes their well-being.

Child advocacy efforts play a critical role in identifying risk factors, supporting families, and ensuring children are connected to the services and protections they need.

At CACHSC, we remain committed to strengthening awareness and supporting systems that protect the rights and futures of children in our communities.

Some stories are worth telling again and again. 💙

Max and Mark De La Garza first donated backpacks to our organization when they were just kids. Today, both of them returned as high school students to give back once again. Not only did they donate, but they also worked with teachers at their school to encourage even more students to contribute. 📚❤️

Watching their heart for service grow over the years is truly inspiring. Thank you, Max and Mark, for leading by example and making a difference in our community. 🫶✨
