Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Crime & Law, Domestic Violence, Hot Lines & Crisis Intervention, Mental Health, Mental Health Treatment, Protection Against Abuse, Suicide Prevention
Mission: To build healthy lives for children and families, free of abuse, neglect and violence.
Results: Over 40 years of child abuse prevention, education, and counseling for child victims of abuse, neglect and violence-and the families who care for them. Over 900 children come through our doors each year. We believe strong, nurturing and informed families and communities have the greatest ability to keep children safe. We also believe, without regard to poverty and ability to pay, all children who are at-risk or have experienced abuse should be able to get the help they need when they need it. As one of our teen sexual abuse victims explained “you don’t just get over this without help.”
