The Bridge Children's Advocacy Center

The Bridge Children's Advocacy Center, located at 804 Quail Creek Drive in Amarillo, Texas, is dedicated to creating a healing path to justice for kids and preventing child abuse throughout the Texas Panhandle. This nonprofit organization offers Recognize, Respond and Report Training for professionals free of charge, aiming to educate individuals on the different types of child abuse to better protect children.

The Bridge is not a Law Enforcement or Child Protective Service agency, but rather a neutral, child-friendly environment that works alongside these agencies to provide support and services to children who have experienced abuse or violence. The staff at The Bridge are specially trained professionals who deeply care for every child who walks through their doors.

As a founding member of Children's Advocacy Centers of Texas and a fully accredited member of the National Children's Alliance, The Bridge is committed to providing a comprehensive, child-focused program that brings together various professionals to assist child victims in a collaborative and cohesive manner. Serving all 26 counties of the Texas Panhandle, The Bridge offers vital services at no cost to child victims and their families.

Children's advocacy centers like The Bridge provide a safe, child-friendly environment where professionals can share information and develop effective, coordinated strategies sensitive to the needs of each unique case and child. The organization relies on private donations and fundraising efforts to continue its important work in helping children heal from abuse and violence.
